ABSTRACT

This work presents a multi objective performance index-based size and location

determination of distributed generation in distribution systems with different load

models. Normally, a constant power (real and reactive) load model is assumed in most

of the studies made in the literature. It is shown that load models can significantly

affect the optimal location and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in

distribution systems. The simulation technique based on particle swarm technology is

studied. The studies have been carried out on 38-bus distribution systems.

This work proposes a multi-objective index-based approach for optimally determining

the size and location of multi-distributed generation (multi-DG) units in distribution

systems with different load models. It is shown that the load models can significantly

affect the optimal location and sizing of DG resources in distribution systems The

proposed function also considers a wide range of technical issues such as active and

reactive power losses of the system, the voltage profile, the line loading, and the

Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) intake by the grid. An optimization technique based on

particle swarm optimization (PSO) is introduced. An analysis of the continuation

power flow to determine the effect of DG units on the most sensitive buses to voltage

collapse is carried out. The proposed algorithm is tested using a 38-bus radial system.

After enactment of Electricity Act ‘2003 in India, a comprehensive change is

happening in Indian power sector, and power distribution utilities are going through a

reformation process to cope up with the regulatory change for reduction in

Aggregated Technical and Commercial Loss, improvement in Power Quality,

Reliability of Power Supply, and Improvement in Customer Satisfaction. Smart Grid

is sophisticated, digitally enhanced power systems where the use of modern

communications and control technologies allows much greater robustness, efficiency

and flexibility than today’s power systems. In a smart grid, all the various nodes need

to interconnect to share data as and where needed. Government of India has recently

formed “Smart Grid Forum” and “Smart Grid Task Force” for enablement of smart

grid technology into Indian Power Distribution Utilities as a part of their Smart Grid

initiative to meet their growing energy demand in similar with the developed country

like USA, Europe etc.

Chapter-1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Distributed generation (DG) is not a new concept but it is an emerging approach for

providing electric power in the heart of the power system. It mainly depends upon the

installation and operation of a portfolio of small size, compact, and clean electric

power generating units at or near an electrical load (customer). Till now, not all DG

technologies and types are economic, clean or reliable. Some literature studies

delineating the future growth of DGs are:

a) The Public Services Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), New Jersey,

started to participate in fuel cells (FCs) and photovoltaics (PVs) from 1970

and micro-turbines (MTs) from 1995 till now. PSE&G becomes the

distributor of Honeywell’s 75kW MTs in USA and Canada. Fuel cells are

now available in units range 3–250kW size.

b) The Electric Power Research Institutes (EPRI) study shows that by 2010,

DGs will take nearly 25% of the new future electric generation, while a

National Gas Foundation study indicated that it would be around 30%.

Surveying DG concepts may include DG definitions, technologies, applications, sizes,

locations, DG practical and operational limitations, and their impact on system

operation and the existing power grid. This work focuses on surveying different DG

types, technologies, definitions, their operational constraints, placement and sizing

with new methodology particle swarm optimization. Furthermore, we aim to present a

critical survey by proposing new DG in to conventional grid to make it smart grid.



1.2 DG TYPES AND RANGE

There are different types of DGs from the constructional and technological points of

view as shown in Fig. 1. These types of DGs must be compared to each other to help

in taking the decision with regard to which kind is more suitable to be chosen in

different situations. However, in our paper we are concerned with the technologies

and types of the new emerging DGs: micro-turbines and fuel cells. The different kinds

of distributed generation are discussed below.

Micro-turbine (MT)

Micro-turbine technologies are expected to have a bright future. They are small

capacity combustion turbines, which can operate using natural gas, propane, and fuel

oil. In a simple form, they consist of a compressor, combustor, recuperator, small

turbine, and generator. Sometimes, they have only one moving shaft, and use air or oil

for lubrication. MTs are small scale of 0.4–1m3 in volume and 20–500kW in size.

Unlike the traditional combustion turbines, MTs run at less temperature and pressure

and faster speed (100,000 rpm), which sometimes require no gearbox. Some existing

commercial examples have low costs, good reliability, fast speed with air foil bearings

ratings range of 30–75kW are installed in North-eastern US and Eastern Canada and

Argentina by Honeywell Company and 30–50kW for Capstone and Allison/GE

companies, respectively . Another example is ABB MT: of size 100kW, which runs at

maximum power with a speed of 70,000 rpm and has one shaft with no gearbox where

the turbine, compressor, and a special designed high speed generator are on the same

shaft.



Fig. 1. Distributed generation types and technologies.

Electrochemical devices: fuel cell (FC)

The fuel cell is a device used to generate electric power and provide thermal energy

from chemical energy through electrochemical processes. It can be considered as a

battery supplying electric energy as long as its fuels are continued to supply. Unlike

batteries, FC does not need to be charged for the consumed materials during the

electrochemical process since these materials are continuously supplied. FC is a well-

known technology from the early 1960s when they were used in the Modulated States

Space Program and many automobile industry companies. Later in 1997, the US

Department of Energy tested gasoline fuel for FC to study its availability for

generating electric power. FC capacities vary from kW to MW for portable and

stationary units, respectively.

Storage devices

It consists of batteries, flywheels, and other devices, which are charged during low

load demand and used when required. It is usually combined with other kinds of DG

types to supply the required peak load demand. These batteries are called “deep

cycle”. Unlike car batteries, “shallow cycle” which will be damaged if they have

several times of deep discharging, deep cycle batteries can be charged and discharged

a large number of times without any failure or damage. These batteries have a



charging controller for protection from overcharge and over discharge as it

disconnects the charging process when the batteries have full charge. The sizes of

these batteries determine the battery discharge period. However, flywheels systems

can charge and provide 700kW in 5 s.

Renewable devices

Green power is a new clean energy from renewable resources like; sun, wind, and

water. Its electricity price is still higher than that of power generated from

conventional oil sources.

DG capacities: DG capacities are not restrictedly defined as they depend on the user

type (utility or customer) and/or the used applications. These levels of capacities vary

widely from one unit to a large number of units connected in a modular form.

1.3 Distributed Power Applications

Distributed power technologies are typically installed for one or more of the following

purposes:

(i) Overall load reduction – Use of energy efficiency and other energy saving

measures for reducing total consumption of electricity, sometimes with supplemental

power generation.

(ii) Independence from the grid – Power is generated locally to meet all local energy

needs by ensuring reliable and quality power under two different models.

a. Grid Connected – Grid power is used only as a back up during failure of

maintenance of the onsite generator.

b. Off grid – This is in the nature of stand-alone power generation. In order to

attain self-sufficiency it usually includes energy saving approaches and an

energy storage device for back-up power. This includes most village power

applications in developing countries.

(iii) Supplemental Power- Under this model, power generated by the grid is

augmented with distributed generation for the following reasons: -

a. Standby Power- Under this arrangement power availability is assured

during grid outages.

b. Peak shaving – Under this model the power that is locally generated is used

for reducing the demand for grid electricity during the peak periods to avoid

the peak demand charges imposed on big electricity users.

(iv) Net energy sales – Individual homeowners and entrepreneurs can generate more

electricity than they need and sell their surplus to the grid. Co-generation could fall

into this category.

(v) Combined heat and power - Under this model waste heat from a power generator

is captured and used in manufacturing process for space heating, water heating etc. in

order to enhance the efficiency of fuel utilization.

(vi) Grid support – Power companies resort to distributed generation for a wide

variety of reasons. The emphasis is on meeting higher peak loads without having to

invest in infrastructure (line and sub-station upgrades).



1.4 Classic Electricity Paradigm (Central Power Station Model)

The current model for electricity generation and distribution in the United States is

dominated by centralized power plants. The power at these plants is typically

combustion (coal, oil, and natural) or nuclear generated. Centralized power models,

like this, require distribution from the center to outlying consumers. Current

substations can be anywhere from 10s to 100s of miles away from the actual users of

the power generated. This requires transmission across the distance.

This system of centralized power plants has many disadvantages. In addition to the

transmission distance issues, these systems contribute to greenhouse gas emission, the

production of nuclear waste, inefficiencies and power loss over the lengthy

transmission lines, environmental distribution where the power lines are constructed,

and security related issues.

Many of these issues can be mediated through distributed energies. By locating, the

source near or at the end-user location the transmission line issues are rendered

obsolete. Distributed generation (DG) is often produced by small modular energy

conversion units like solar panels. As has been demonstrated by solar panel use in the

United States, these units can be stand-alone or integrated into the existing energy

grid. Frequently, consumers who have installed solar panels will contribute more to

the grid than they take out resulting in a win-win situation for both the power grid and

the end-user.

Energy consumers, power providers and all other state holders are benefited in

important benefit of

power where it is needed

The major benefits of distributed power to the various stakeholders are as follows:



1.5.1 Major Potential Benefits of Distributed Generation

1.5.2 Consumer-Side Benefits: Better power reliability and quality, lower energy

cost, wider choice in energy supply options, better energy and load management and

faster response to new power demands are among the major potential benefits that can

accrue to the consumers.

1.5.3 Grid –Side Benefits: The grid benefits by way of reduced transmission and

distribution losses, reduction in upstream congestion on transmission lines, optimal

use of existing grid assets, higher energy conversion efficiency than in central

generation and improved grid reliability. Capacity additions and reductions can be

made in small increments closely matching the demands instead of constructing

Central Power Plants which are sized to meet a estimated future rather than current

demand under distributed generation.

1.5.4 Benefits To Other Stake Holders: Energy Service Companies get new

opportunities for selling, financing and managing distributed generation and load

reduction technologies and approaches. Technology developers, manufacturers and

vendors of distributed power equipment see opportunities for new business in an

expanded market for their products. Regulators and policy maker’s support distributed

power as it benefits consumers and promotes competition.

B) The following are among the more important factors that contributed to the

emergence of distributed generation as a new alternative to the energy crisis that

surfaced in the USA.

i. Energy Shortage –States likes California and New York that experienced energy

shortages decided to encourage businesses and homeowners to install their own

generating capacity and take less power from the grid. The California Public Utilities

Commission for instance approved a programme of 125 US million $ incentives

programme to encourage businesses and homeowners to install their own generating

capacity and take less power from the grid. In the long run the factors enumerated

below would play a significant part in the development of distributed generation.

ii. Digital Economy –Though the power industry in the USA met more than 99% of

the power requirements of the computer based industries, these industries found that

even a momentary fluctuation in power supply can cause computer crashes. The



industries, which used computer, based manufacturing processes shifted to their own

back-up systems for power generation.

iii. Continued Deregulation of Electricity Markets – The progressive deregulation of

the electricity markets in the USA led to violent price fluctuations because the power

generators, who were not allowed to enter into long-term wholesale contracts, had to

pass on whatever loss they suffered only on the spot markets. In a situation like that in

California where prices can fluctuate by the hour, flexibility to switch onto and off the

grid alone gives the buyer the strength to negotiate with the power supplier on a

strong footing. Distributed generation in fact is regarded as the best means of ensuring

competition in the power sector.

C) Both in the USA and UK the process of de-regulation did not make smooth

progress on account of the difficulties created by the regulated structure of the power

market and a monopoly enjoyed the dominant utilities.

D) In fact, the current situation in the United States in the power sector is compared to

the situation that arose in the Telecom Sector on account of the breakup of AT&T

Corporation’s monopoly 20 years ago. In other words distributed generation is a

revolution that is caused by profound regulatory change as well as profound technical

change.

Particle Swarm Optimization

2.1 Introduction

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population based stochastic optimization

technique developed by Dr. Eberhart and Dr. Kennedy in 1995, inspired by social

behavior of bird flocking or fish schooling.

PSO shares many similarities with evolutionary computation techniques such as

Genetic Algorithms (GA). The system is initialized with a population of random

solutions and searches for optima by updating generations. However, unlike GA, PSO

has no evolution operators such as crossover and mutation. In PSO, the potential

solutions, called particles, fly through the problem space by following the current

optimum particles. The detailed information will be given in following sections.

Compared to GA, the advantages of PSO are that PSO is easy to implement and there

are few parameters to adjust. PSO has been successfully applied in many areas:

function optimization, artificial neural network training, fuzzy system control, and

other areas where GA can be applied.

2.2 The PSO algorithm

As stated before, PSO simulates the behaviors of bird flocking. Suppose the following

scenario: a group of birds are randomly searching food in an area. There is only one

piece of food in the area being searched. All the birds do not know where the food is.

But they know how far the food is in each iteration. So what's the best strategy to find

the food? The effective one is to follow the bird which is nearest to the food.

PSO learned from the scenario and used it to solve the optimization problems. In

PSO, each single solution is a "bird" in the search space. We call it "particle". All of

particles have fitness values which are evaluated by the fitness function to be

optimized, and have velocities which direct the flying of the particles. The particles

fly through the problem space by following the current optimum particles.



PSO is initialized with a group of random particles (solutions) and then searches for

optima by updating generations. In every iteration, each particle is updated by

following two "best" values. The first one is the best solution (fitness) it has achieved

so far. (The fitness value is also stored.) This value is called pbest. Another "best"

value that is tracked by the particle swarm optimizer is the best value, obtained so far

by any particle in the population. This best value is a global best and called gbest.

When a particle takes part of the population as its topological neighbors, the best

value is a local best and is called lbest.

After finding the two best values, the particle updates its velocity and positions with

following equations.

v[] = v[] + c1 * rand() * (pbest[] - present[]) + c2 * rand() * (gbest[] - present[])

present[] = persent[] + v[]

Where v[] is the particle velocity, persent[] is the current particle (solution). pbest[]

and gbest[] are defined as stated before, rand () is a random number between (0,1). c1,

c2 are learning factors usually c1 = c2 = 2.

PSAT/MATLAB RESEARCH TOOL

3.1 Overview

Power System Analysis is an analysis that is so important nowadays. It is not only

important in economic scheduling, but also necessary for planning and operation for a

system. Based on that, in recently years, there are many researches, new

developments and analysis was introduced to people in order to mitigate the problems

that involving Power System Analysis such as Load Flow Analysis, Fault Analysis,

Stability Analysis and Optimal Dispatch on Power Generation.

i) Load Flow Analysis is important to analyze any planning for power system

improvement under steady state conditions such as to build new power generation

capacity, new transmission lines in the case of additional or increasing of loads, to

plan and design the future expansion of power systems as well as in determining the

best operation of existing systems.

ii) Fault Analysis is important to determine the magnitude of voltages and line

currents during the occurrence of various types of fault.

iii) Stability Analysis is necessary for reliable operation of power systems to keep

synchronism after minor and major disturbances.

iv) Optimal Dispatch is to find real and reactive power to power plants to meet load

demand as well as minimize the operation cost.

All the analysis discussed above is an importance tool involving numerical analysis

that applied to a power system. In this analysis, there is no known analytical method

to solve the problem because it depends on iterative technique. Iterative technique is

one of the analysis that using a lot of mathematical calculations which takes a lot of

times to perform by hand. So, to solve the problems, the development of this toolbox

based on MATLAB 7.8 with Graphical User Interface (GUI) will help the analysis

become quick and easy.



The PSAT kernel is the power flow algorithm, which also takes care of the state

variable initialization. Once the power flow has been solved, the user can perform

further static and/or dynamic analyses. These are:

1) Continuation Power Flow (CPF);

2) Optimal Power Flow (OPF);

3) Small signal stability analysis;

4) Time domain simulations.

PSAT deeply exploits Matlab vectorized computations and sparse matrix functions in

order to optimize performances. Furthermore PSAT is provided with the most

complete set of algorithms for static and dynamic analyses among currently available

Matlab-based power system softwares (see Table II). PSAT also contains interfaces to

UWPFLOW and GAMS which highly extend PSAT ability to solve CPF and OPF

problems, respectively.

In order to perform accurate and complete power system analyses, PSAT supports a

variety of static and dynamic models, as follows:

- Power Flow Data: Bus bars, transmission lines and transformers, slack buses, PV

generators, constant power loads, and shunt admittances.

- Market Data: Power supply bids and limits, generator power reserves, and power

demand bids and limits.

- Switches: Transmission line faults and breakers.

- Measurements: Bus frequency measurements.

- Loads: Voltage dependent loads, frequency dependent loads, ZIP (polynomial)

loads, thermostatically controlled loads, and exponential recovery loads [14].

- Machines: Synchronous machines (dynamic order from 2 to 8) and induction motors

(dynamic order from 1 to 5).

- Controls: Turbine Governors, AVRs, PSSs, Over-excitation limiters, and secondary

voltage regulation.

- Regulating Transformers: Under load tap changers and phase shifting transformers.



- FACTS: SVCs, TCSCs, SSSCs, UPFCs.

- Wind Turbines: Wind models, constant speed wind turbine with squirrel cage

induction motor, variable speed wind turbine with doubly fed induction generator, and

variable speed wind turbine with direct drive synchronous generator.

- Other Models: Synchronous machine dynamic shaft, subsynchronous resonance

model, solid oxide fuel cell, and subtransmission area equivalents.

Besides mathematical algorithms and models, PSAT includes a variety of additional

tools, as follows:

1) User-friendly graphical user interfaces;

2) Simulink library for one-line network diagrams;

3) Data file conversion to and from other formats;

4) User defined model editor and installer;

5) Command line usage.

MODELING OF SMART RADIAL

SYSTEM

4.1 Description of a Power System

A power system must be safe, reliable, economical, benign to the environment and

socially acceptable. The power system is subdivided into Generation, Transformer,

Transmission and Sub-Transmission, Distribution and Loads. The following section

will examine each of the sub-system in detailed.

4.1.1 Distribution

The distribution system is the part that the sub-transmission lines typically deliver

their power to locations called substations where the voltage is transformed

downward to a voltage that is required by the customers. The voltage of the

distribution system is between 4.6KV and 25KV.

4.2 Important of Load Modeling

The power system engineer bases decisions concerning system reinforcements and

system performance in large part on the results of power flow and stability simulation

studies. Representation inadequacies that cause under or over building of the system

or degradation of reliability could prove to be costly. In performing power system

analysis, models must be developed for all pertinent system components, including

generating stations, transmission and distribution equipment, and load devices. Much

attention has been given to models for generation and transmission/distribution

equipment. The representation of the loads has received less attention and continues

to be an area of greater uncertainty. Many studies have shown that load representation

can have significant impact on analysis results. Therefore, efforts directed at

improving load modelling are of major importance.
