“…For that reason it is necessary to encourage the connection of new DG units with optimal installed power on optimal locations in the distribution network [14]. Lower power losses, investment deferral and voltage profile improvement are just some of the benefits associated with optimal allocation of DG units [15][16][17][18][19].…”

This paper explores the concept of distribution network planning in Croatia from both theoretical and practical point of view. First, the types of distribution system planning are presented. Then the technical criteria for distribution network planning in Croatia are elaborated, according to the Croatian Grid Code and the standard practice of Croatia's Distribution System Operator. The focus of this paper is to go through the basic differences between planning active and passive distribution networks in Croatia with special attention paid to voltage and power fluctuations caused by distributed generation units. Distribution network configurations that are used in Croatia are also displayed, especially in the context of redundancy and contingency analysis. The availability and type of input data for distribution network planning is thoroughly discussed. In addition, the paper addresses the challenges associated with the elimination of the 35 kV networks and the transition from 10 to 20 kV voltage level in Croatia. Finally, some relatively new but not yet exploited concepts are overviewed, like demand response and electric vehicles along with the future development of smart grids in Croatia.

“…At present, photovoltaic (PV) power stations are mainly integrated into the distribution systems as a form of distributed PV station (DPVS). It is obvious that large scale integrations of the DPVSs have dramatic impacts on the distribution systems [1], [2]. Meanwhile, EVs are mainly recharged from the distribution systems at the EV charging stations (EVCSs).…”

“…Therefore, optimal plan of the DPVSs in the distributions attracts a great deal of attentions from researchers. In [1], the locations of the DPVSs are optimized based on typical daily production/consummation curves of the DPVSs/loads, aiming to minimize active and reactive power losses. [8] proposes an optimization methodology to identify proper locations and sizes of the DPVSs in the distribution systems, which can be solved by the particle swarm optimization technique.…”

“…Due to these characteristics, conventional Newton Raphson and Gauss-Seidel methods may provide inaccurate results and also may fail to converge (Ashish Teng, 2003). For that reason, various load flow equations applicable for radial distribution system were proposed (Prenc, Škrlec, & Komen, 2013). Moreover, the forward/ backward sweep algorithm is quite popular among them due to its easiest modulation (Bompard et al, 2000).…”

This study attempts to identify the causes and possible solutions for voltage profile issues in the lower land of Nepal, and is specifically focused on Laukahi feeder, a radial distribution system with an approximate length of 65 km and distributed at 11KV system voltage. Currently, the end-users feeding through this feeder are getting extremely poor voltage along with frequent interruptions in the power supply. In this study, a forward/ backward sweep algorithm is used to analyze the load flow of the distribution system, whereas ant colony optimization (ACO) technique is used to identify the best location for the Distributed Generator (DG) penetrations. After completion of this study, it is found that, the branch loss of the feeder can be reduced up to 87.22%, and voltage profile can be improved from 0.828 pu to 0.982 pu by integrating some form of DGs.
