DG Allocation in Distribution Networks with Considering of Voltage Stability Improvement and Loss Reduction

Anotace: The improvement of the line Load-ability (LL) for voltage stability establishes the main criterion for distribution networks. The Distributed Generation (DG) resources play an important role in the supply of active and reactive power loads, bus voltage profiles, and voltage stability in distribution systems. In this paper, a new technique has been proposed for optimization of the location placement and sizing of DGs, considering the Generalized voltage Stability Index (GSI) to determine the maximum load-ability. Also, an analytical method has been applied to infer the effects of DGs on the distribution systems’ characteristics. The study also considers three types of DG modes, which are voltage control mode (PV mode), constant power mode (PQ mode), and also voltage control mode with reactive power constraint (PV mode with VAR constraint). The proposed method is applied to 12-bus, modified 12-bus, 69-bus and 94-bus radial distribution systems.
