Abstract
In present days, power systems are more complex and highly stressed due to rise in population, and it requires more electrical demands. Presently, the distribution losses in India are approximately 25–30%. In recent days, distributed generation (DG) units are attracting the utility and consumers to use it largely in distribution system, to get more benefit from this like reduced power losses, increased reliability and maintain voltage stability. To get more benefits from DGs, it is necessary to find out its proper size and position. In this paper, a new analytical method is used to calculate the loss sensitivity factor at the buses, which is used to find best size and location of DG to increase the performance of distribution system. The mainly used DG units are PV unit and shunt capacitor for analysis of proposed method in one of the practical feeders with 41-bus emanating from 110/11 kV Alkola substation in Shivamogga, Karnataka, India. The loss sensitivity factor method is used to find optimal position and size of DG in the practical system. Power World Simulator (PWS) software is used to model the practical feeder, and simulated results are analysed for voltage magnitude and system losses. The result indicates that optimal position and size of DG will recover the voltage profile in the system within the suitable limits, and system losses are reduced.
