ABSTRACT

In the recent times, as the concern of continues and huge energy demand

worldwide anticipated for future will be unrealistic if only governed by the central

generation to transfer the huge power over the long distance. Parallel reason due to

the increasing of interest on the alternative energy such as solar, wind, hydro,

biomass, geothermal, tidal, wave and etc., the number of studies on integration of

distributed resources to the grid has rapidly increased. Distributed Generation (DG)

was known as generation which comprise of distributed resources and also local

supply that close to the consumer or distribution network has the capability on

aforementioned scenario. Further with the fluctuate costs of fuel and rigorous

environmental regulations are the reasons for the construction of large power stations

to meet rising energy demands economically unattainable. The penetration of DG

presents a new set of conditions to distribution networks. One of the advantages of it

is the ability to provide voltage support for better system stability. In other word it is

like the reactive compensation system. However during DG installation, it may

encounter other technical problem. One of the problems is improper placement of

DG may actually increase the network losses and impact the voltage profile of the

system. The DG problem can be solved by applying Loading Margin and Analytical

approaches based on Newton-Raphson power flow to optimize the placement and

size of DG and to enhance the voltage stability margin of power system to mitigate

the risk of voltage collapse. There are three test system from IEEE 6-bus, IEEE 14-

bus and IEEE 30-bus for the verification on the effectiveness of the methods applied.

This project report concludes with appropriately locate and size of DG is the great

options for voltage stability enhancement and system reactive power compensation.

ABSTRAK

Sejak kebelakangan ini, kebimbangan berterusan dan permintaan tenaga yang

besar di seluruh dunia dijangka untuk masa depan akan menjadi tidak realistik jika

hanya dikawal oleh generasi pusat untuk memindahkan kuasa besar dari suatu jarak

yang panjang. Penjanaan teragih yang dikenali sebagai generasi yang terdiri daripada

sumber yang diagihkan dan juga bekalan tempatan yang hampir kepada rangkaian

pengguna atau pengedaran mempunyai keupayaan untuk senario yang dinyatakan di

atas . Lanjutan mengenai kos bahan api yang tidak menentu dan peraturan alam

sekitar yang ketat juga merupakan satu faktor utama bahawa teknologi penjanaan

teragih diperlukan atas sebab penjanaan kuasa pusat tidak boleh dicapai dari segi

ekonomi . Penyambungan penjanaan teragih membawa ciri baru kepada sistem

rangkaian pengedaran dan juga memberi kelebihan kepada sistem di mana ia di

pasang. Salah satu kelebihan ia adalah keupayaan untuk menyediakan sokongan

voltan untuk kestabilan sistem yang lebih baik . Dengan kata lain ia adalah seperti

sistem pampasan yang reaktif . Walau bagaimanapun semasa pemasangan penjanaan

teragih ini, ia mungkin akan menghadapi masalah teknikal yang lain. Masalah yang

paling kritikal dialami adalah lokasi yang tidak sesuai untuk penjanaan teragih

sebenarnya boleh meningkatkan kerugian rangkaian dan kemudiannya merosot corak

voltan sistem kuasa. Dalam projek ini , masalah penjanaan teragih boleh diselesaikan

dengan menggunakan muatan margin dan Analisis pendekatan untuk

mengoptimumkan lokasi dan penentuan saiz untuk penjanaan teragih dan secara

tidak langsung menaikkan margin kestabilan sistem kuasa untuk mengurangkan

risiko kejatuhan voltan . Terdapat tiga model sytem uji yang terdiri dari IEEE 6- bas ,

14-bas dan 30-bas untuk pengesahan pada keberkesanan kaedah yang digunakan .

Hasil prestasi kedua-dua kaedah simulasi menggunakan perisian Power World telah

membuktikan dengan lokasi dan penentuan saiz penjanaan teragih yang tepat

mejadikan ia pilihan yang hebat untuk meningkatkan kestabilan voltan dan sistem

pampasan kuasa reaktif.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

In the past 4 years, the Survey of Electricity Demand Management was

provided a detailed about scale of Distributed Generation in Australia. According to

a survey, Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) approximated that on

February 2012, the sums up capacity been set up was 1450 MW and observed that by

2020 the demand expected to reach 5100 MW and by 2031 it forecasted to install

close to 12 000 MW[1]. The huge capacity demand forecasted for future will be

unfeasible if only governed by the central generation to supply the huge power over

the long distance. Furthermore, with the instable price of fuel and concern on the

global warming impact was brought DG more established as the attractive alternative

instead of central generation to overcome the problems [3].

Distributed or Embedded generation (DG/EG) commonly defined as

generation located close to the distribution network and linked closely to the

consumer instead of far distance of central plant [2]. Currently, for certain countries

the policy of energy conservation progressively promoted the alternative energy

sources, namely solar, wind, biomass, hydro, or nuclear. The energy that generated

by DG is cover variety of technologies such as micro-turbines, gaseous fuel, solar,

wind, biomass and fuel cells [3].Typically, DG can be classified from micro to large

scale which is range up from less than 2 kW and greater than 5MW and the rating

also can be available up to 50MW, especially from heavy industrial scale use

combustion heat and power (CHP) or co-generation plants [37]. Table 1.1 illustrates

Page 15: OPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48888/25/NasirahMamatMFKE2015.pdfOPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION UNIT BY LOADING MARGIN

the classification of DG capacity requirement from the source of Australian Energy

Market Commission (AEMC).

Table 1.1: AEMC classification of distributed generation units [37]

The importance of DG able to produce both real and reactive power and

parallel boost up the power system efficiency by minimizing system losses as well as

function as contingency reserves to the network. The new transmission line also may

not require since DG schemes are grid independent thus distribution facilities

consequently decreasing overall infrastructure costs. Nevertheless, there are some

critical factor needs to be considered prior connecting DG to the distribution system,

especially location and size as well as characteristic of the DG itself. If DG not

properly handled, it may lead to high losses and affect the voltage regulation of the

power system. DG characteristics have specified that it is privately own and of

course the energy sources might be inconsistent such solar, wind, tidal and etc., the

above-mentioned conditions will not be promising to meet the requirement [6].

In the last 5 decades, the advance and innovative electrical power systems

remain in challenging mode and risky transferred power from high voltage to low

voltage and normally intended to activate without any back up generation [5]. DG

insertion expressively improves power flow and voltage profiles at both end user and

also distribution station. One of the advantages of DG to be discussed in this project

is the ability of DG to provide voltage support for better system stability [4]. There

Page 16: OPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48888/25/NasirahMamatMFKE2015.pdfOPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION UNIT BY LOADING MARGIN

were many researches have been done by introducing multiple of DG placement

algorithms using analytic or experimental approaches [7]. Only a few works have

been focused on optimizing the effect DG in voltage stability improvement.

In many researches done, there are numerous techniques offered for DG

allocation for instance in primary feeder which employed CPF method to classify the

weakest bus prone to voltage instability [8]. The other technique applied modal

analysis discussed by B. Gao, G. K. Morrison, and P. Kundurl [9], which gives the idea

of proximity to voltage collapse. In [10] optimal DG allocation has been identified,

which is based on the modal analysis and compared the effectiveness of the method

to the CPF method. Application of different optimization techniques in DG

placement problem were also discussed in literature. Genetic algorithm also one of

the methods introduced in [11] and DG placement by using Particle Swarm

Optimization (PSO) algorithm, based on Continuation Power Flow and Modal

Analysis [7].

1.1.1 Conventional Power Systems Concept

At the first level, bulk power generated in centralize power station which

typically positioned in rural area. The second level is transmission network system

that operated at higher voltage level. And the final stage is electricity distribution to

customers. Distribution stage is vital part of power transfer for determining power

quality[16]. The power demand is continuously growth especially in develop

countries, therefore the generation of it also must be parallel to meet the demands.

Figure 1.1 shows the conventional concept of energy flow in power system. The

conventional concept consist of four level and currently only level 1 is highly

concentrate. This concept were economically unfeasible since the power flow only in

in one way direction and power delivered via a large passive distribution [17].

Figure 1.1: Conventional concept of energy flow [17]

1.1.2 Modern Power Systems Concept

Many years ago, advance in technologies totally changed the structure of

power system [17]. The modern concept basically focus on distribution instead

generation. Figure 1.2 demonstrates the modern concept of the energy flow. The new

concept having two additional level compared to conventional which are distribution

and distribution generation. The characteristic of new concept were no longer in

passive flow but upgrade to active flow whereby both generation and load also can

supply the power to meet the demand requirement.

1.1.3 Distributed Generation Technologies

Recently, advance in electricity extraction from many energy sources has

create more advance DG technologies. The main energy source used by the DG will

determine the output characteristic and the required grid connection types. Two

classification of DG defined, either dis-patchable or non dis-patchable based on

controllability of energy source to obtain desired DG output power. In contrast, the

DG is considered as non dis-patchable, if controlling energy source is not possible,

which normally the source is based on renewable energy that is not consistent.

There are various of DG technologies can be attached directly to the grid via

rotational support to synchronous AC generators and induction generators or

utilizing inverter system to convert DC source to AC [6][19][20]. DG with rotational

support to synchronous generator usually comes with thermal based energy for steam

generation, while DG that utilized power electronic converters extensively applied in

solar PV generation, fuel cell, micro-turbines, and wind power.

1.1.3.1 Micro-Turbines

Micro-turbines were built in small scale and most of the time used in

transportation applications. The main advantage of it is extreme high rotational speed

and can generate high frequency ac power. The conversion of high frequency is

executed by power electronic device. The rating power of micro-turbine is ranges

from 30 - 200 kW. The noise generated from micro-turbines using natural gas is

better than turbine [23]. The short track record and expensive price make it worse

than combustion engine.

1.1.3.2 Wind Power

Currently many countries especially German, Spain and Denmark 78% have

deployed Wind energy as alternative to fuel and keep growing. Total about 48,500

MW wind power size developed in Europe [26]. In every country worldwide, all are

hunting the unpolluted power energy to reduce environmental effect [25]. The

fluctuation and inconstant of wind speed are the main barrier to achieve high power

quality. It is known that wind power production is natural forces bases, incapable to

support power on demand. Yet, the grid must deliver per capacity requirement.

Another key challenge of wind source is the location of the plant is further away to

the transmission line.

1.1.3.3 Solar Thermal

The source of solar energy mainly produced from sunlight and depends on

the geographical and climate factor of the area. The high storage of solar energy can

be generated when solar radiation is high. Solar thermal process quite simple

compared to photovoltaic system in term of heat collection [22]. This process make

solar thermal is economically feasible and the ranges available from small kW up to

100 MW [16]. Recent year, encouragement on the alternative energy system is

arising greatly which promoted the thorough study on the renewable energy source

[17]. Solar thermal also can be made hybrid with grid utility for energy cost savings.

1.1.3.4 Fuel Cell

Fuel cells develop primary from hydrogen source and the behavior of it are

comparable with battery and being recharged continuously. Basically it involves the

chemical reaction from air and oxygen to generate electricity [9]. Fuel Cell DGs

have many merits, compared to other power plants such as high productivity, zero

pollution impact and flexible modular structure. Fuel Cells have the benefit when

integrated with DG which positioned close to the consumer. Generally, Fuel Cell

Page 20: OPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48888/25/NasirahMamatMFKE2015.pdfOPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION UNIT BY LOADING MARGIN

7

DGs are connected locally by consumers to improve the voltage profile and active

power injection. When compared to other renewable sources like wind and solar, the

certainty in availability of power from Fuel Cell DG is extra advantage which

improves the power system stability and reliability [29]. Figure 1.3 illustrates the

schematic of fuel cell.

Figure 1.3: Schematic diagram of a fuel cell [29]

1.1.4 Impact of Distribution Generation on Power Grid

Attaching a DG to existing distribution system will impact the operation in

the network. The new performance is depending on the DG itself and the size. The

effects will be explained detail in the next sub section.

1.1.4.1 Power Flows

The positive outcomes of DG divert the power flow and the system is no

longer a passive circuit supplying loads. Since the power can supply from both

generator and load, the system is actually transform to active circuit [6]. In this

scenario, the generator transfers excess power to all connected loads. The excess

power is relocated to a higher voltage system.

1.1.4.2 Network Losses

The primary concern of DG installation is feeder losses. Allocating a DG is

crucial and required depth understanding, analysis and simulation in order to

improve network operations [15]. Proper action must be determined to troubleshoot

DG problems or else it results in losses. A correct allocation of DG able to decrease

losses, but, inappropriate allocation may surplus losses [15], at the same time there is

possibility to obtain free available capacity to transmit power and minimize the

equipment load. As compared to capacitor bank, DG is capable of providing both

active and reactive powers, hence, slight dispersion of optimally located DG that has

relative output a tenth of feeder demand will provide substantial reduce in losses[15].

1.1.4.3 Steady Sate Voltage Variations

For the network impedance, normally resistance of the synchronous is

negligible as reactance is very high compared to resistance, reactive power has direct

relationship with voltage level for same bus. If an adjacent load absorbs the output

from DG then the effect on the distribution network voltage is likely to be beneficial.

Nevertheless, if it is essential to transfer the power via the network then the steady-

state voltage fluctuation may unpleasantly become uncontrolled [9].

1.2 Problem Statement

Large interconnected power system cannot escape from power stability issue.

Power system considers in condition of voltage insecure whenever the voltage

magnitude uncontrollable drop example progressive in consumer demand. An

abnormally high or low voltage also may occurs when reactive power resource could

not afford to meet power system requirement, reactive sources (generators) are too

far from load centers, transmission line loading is too high, generator terminal

voltages are too low, inadequate load reactive compensation and others. Without any

action taken on this problem the worst case, the system may lead to voltage collapse.

Page 22: OPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48888/25/NasirahMamatMFKE2015.pdfOPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION UNIT BY LOADING MARGIN

Distributed Generation (DG), which commonly located in distribution system, can

solve this problem. Nevertheless, unplanned application of individual DG might

cause other technical problems. One of the problems is improper placement of DG

may actually increase the network losses and impact the voltage profile of the

system. The strategically allocate and sizing DG only then can effectively improve

the voltage stability issue.

1.3 Objectives

There are two main objectives of this project which are to optimize the

placement and sizing of DG and enhance the voltage stability margin of power

system in order to mitigate the risk of voltage collapse with DG. The sub-objectives

below needed in order to accomplish the main objectives above:

(i) To identify the candidate or weakest bus prone to voltage stability

(ii) To gain the high efficiency by reduce the system losses

(iii) To increase active power margin and reactive power margin with different

type operation mode of DG

1.4 Scope of W ork

This project is covered static method to analyze steady state voltage stability

using Newton-Raphson power flow algorithm with aid of PowerWorldTM

Simulator. This project also introduced main concept of voltage stability using

loadability margin approach to approximate voltage collapse in the power system.

PV-QV curve method is executed to define the collapse margin of the power system

at weakest bus. The limitation of this project using P-V curve method is only

consider the upper part of the curve. Another method based on analytical based

algorithm also is applied to optimize the location of DG. The system modeled will

be evaluated to validate and tested the applied method are working well to achieve

the objectives. The operation mode of DG for all three test system in this project

only considers when DG operates with unity power factor [34].

1.5 Report Organization

This project report contains of six chapters. Chapter 1 will explain about the

current energy status in the world and interest of DG as well as the problem

statement, objectives and scope of this project. Chapter 2 is about the literature

review from few authors on the techniques used for DG placement and voltage

enhancement as well as how to optimize DG in distribution system. Chapter 3 will

describe about the modeling of system and DG and theory of voltage stability in

power system and voltage indices to be used in order to approximate the voltage

instability issue. Next Chapter 4 is about the methodology proposed to accomplish

the main objectives of this project. Chapter 5 will present the result and discussion

of the methods applied. Chapter 6 will provide the conclusion and future works to

further improve the gap found in current technique.
