Enhanced OPF for DG Penetrated Power System Network under Variable Load Conditions

Abstract

In modern power systems, distributed generation turns out to be progressively significant. Conversely, the growing utilize of distributed generators origins the concerns on the growing system hazard owing to their probable breakdown or unruly power productivity based on such renewable energy sources as wind and the sun. Power contribution at the required proportion by the grids is the chief performance consideration which depends upon the penetration of distributed generation and the accessibility of conventional sources during the load transform. In this paper, the projected approach is that the essential load power is divided evenly between the grids composed of Distributed Generation (DG) units and the utility based on the PSO algorithm during the load transform. A case study is carried out based on the New England test system (10-Generator-39-Bus) as a standard by using Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm.
