The global requirement for sustainable energy provision will become major problem for the future because the environmental effects of fossil fuels become apparent. This trend has a makeable encouragement for private participation in capacity expansion in a market-oriented industry organization. In addition, installation of small generators located close to the load centres, may give more flexib...

This paper proposes an advanced Pareto-front non-dominated sorting multi-objective particle swarm optimization (Advanced-PFNDMOPSO) method for optimal configuration (placement and sizing) of distributed generation (DG) in the radial distribution system. The distributed generation consists of single and multiple numbers of active power DG, reactive power DG and simultaneous placement of active-r...

The significant growth in the number of connections distributed generation (DG) units distribution networks increases operational complexity such networks. One complicating factors is improper action DG protection against islanding using an undervoltage relay event short-circuits feeders adjacent to connection. In this sense, study investigates through computer simulation which situations undue...

Distributed generator (DG) placement in distribution system is one of the important tasks for better operation of distribution system. Distribution system has high r/x ratio and high operating current resulting into higher power loss and higher voltage drop. The main objective of this paper is to minimize the active power loss and to improve voltage profile of overall system by optimal sizing a...

Distributed Generation (DG) units are increasingly installed in the power systems. Distribution Companies (DisCo) can opt to purchase the electricity from DG in an energy purchase contract to supply the customer demand and reduce energy loss. This paper proposes a framework for optimal contract pricing of independent dispatchable DG units considering competition among them. While DG units tend ...

The present scenario is towards shifting centralised power generation (central grid) to distributed generation (micro grid) with smaller sources of capacity. The isolated micro grid is connected to main grid with inverters at the front end for efficient exchange of power sharing; power exchange among distributed generation (DG) sources in an isolated micro grid is possible with droop characteri...

This research presents a new voltage regulation philosophy that enhances the magnitude in power distribution network where distributed generation (DG) is prevalent. Voltage networks relies heavily on On-Load Tap-Changer (OLTC) installed transformers. Since it was designed for without DG, OLTC's current scheme uses fixed reference and hence cannot regulate network. Therefore, proposed novel syst...
