Research On Distributed Generation Source Placement

Introduction of distributed generation changes the structure of distribution network which impacts greatly on distribution network loss, so rational distributed generation source placement is needed. On a single radial feeder model with three load conditions, location and capacity of distributed generation are taken into consideration to minimize loss on feeders. A method of distributed generation source placement for minimizing loss is proposed. A new algorithm for reticulation system to locate single distributed generation source, which is based on the sensitivity of node active power loss, is proposed. A simulation example is used to verify and demonstrate the methodology feasibility.
