Operational Planning and Allocation of Distributed Generation in Distribution System: A Review

Aman Kumar, Kalpana Meena

Abstract


Distributed generation refers to the generation of electricity from a variety of small, decentralized energy sources that are located close to the point of use, rather than relying solely on large, centralized power plants. These small-scale power sources can include renewable energy technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and micro-hydro systems, as well as conventional fossil fuel generators or combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Distributed generation systems can be owned and operated by individual homeowners, businesses, or utilities. They can operate in parallel with the grid, exporting excess electricity when generating more than is needed, or they can operate in isolation from the grid in areas with limited grid access. However, integrating distributed generation into the existing grid infrastructure can present challenges related to grid stability, power quality, and regulatory issues. Grid operators and policymakers are working to address these challenges to facilitate the continued growth of distributed generation and its role in a more sustainable and resilient energy system. In this paper 12.66 kV, IEEE 33-bus distribution test system is illustrated with allocation of Distributed renewable sources. The relevant data for this test system have programmed in MATLAB based on the backward and forward sweep method for purpose of loss mitigation, voltage profile improvement, reactive power compensation, power quality etc.
