Abstract
|
Distribution network operators (DNOs) tend to supply
electrical energy to its customers in an economical and
reliable manner. If distributed generation (DG) units
are planned with a suitable way, they will be the best
option to reduce costs and increase the distribution
network reliability. This paper proposes a DG units
planning model to determine technology type, capacity
and location of DG units to reduce power losses and
improve reliability and voltage profile in network.
Objective function is a cost function which minimizes
the investment and operation cost of DGs, purchase
costs of the upstream network, defined cost to
reliability index and the energy losses. In this study,
electrical load is time variable and model is simulated
on a typical radial network, successfully. GAMS
software which is well known software to solving
optimization problems is used to simulate.
