The main aim of this paper is development of renewable energy sources in distributed generation (DG) systems. A fuel cell (FC) is considered as a promising power generating sources for DG system. In this paper, a mathematical analysis of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell is carried out for extensive MATLAB/Simulink modeling. For the transient analysis of SOFC distributed generation system, a AC/DC load is ...

This article proposes a robust cooperative distributed secondary control strategy for dc microgrids, with the main focus on reducing communication burdens. To this end, we adopt sparsity-promoting consensus-based framework converter-interfaced microgrids consisting of multiple generation (DG) units. The proposed relies less (sparse) information exchange over network and does not require exchang...

Distributed Generation (DG) sources are becoming more and more prominent in distribution networks due to the incremental demands for electrical energy. Determination of optimal locations and capacities of Distributed Generation (DG) sources has become one of the major problems of distribution utilities. In this paper Swine Influenza Model Based Optimization with Quarantine (SIMBO-Q) has been ap...

Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper deals with DG for minimizing active power loss and D-statcom for reactive power loss minimization is considered. The proper siting of DG and D-statcom is a recently developed combination with the aim of reducing line loss in a radial distribution system. Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) ...

When planning the power grid, it is necessary to obtain optimal decision scheme according market behavior of different stakeholders. In this paper, virtual game player "nature" introduced realize deep integration theory and robust optimization, a source network load collaborative method considering uncertainty multi-agent proposed. Firstly, decision-making models stakeholders DG investment oper...

Distributed generation (DG) is rapidly increasing its penetration level in Australia, and is expected to play a more important role in the power industry. An important benefit of DG is its ability to defer transmission investments. In this paper, a simulation model is implemented to conduct quantitative analysis on the effect of DG on transmission investment deferral. The transmission expansion...

The concept of traditional distribution networks with unidirectional power flow is weakening due to large penetration of Distributed Generation (DG). The penetration of DG may impact the operation of a distribution network in both beneficial and detrimental ways. Some of the positive impacts of DG are voltage support, power loss reduction, support of ancillary services and improved reliability,...

The growth in energy consumption and awareness on global warming has increased the focus on Distributed Generation (DG) using non-conventional energy sources. The stand-alone DGs are used to mitigate the challenge of rural electrification and the grid connected DGs are used to reduce demand on power system network. The DG in grid connected mode operates in parallel with main grid and supplies a...

This paper proposes a simple and efficient approach for the optimal dispatch in a medium-voltage microgrid (MG) with various types of distributed generation (DG). The fuel costs generated by these DGs are determined using quadratic and linear functions dependent on the types of DGs. Instead of using the traditional Lagrange multiplier method for power system economic dispatch, the proposed dire...

In this paper, a conventional thermal power plant with single stage reheat turbine is taken into consideration. It is equipped with AVR, IEEE type dual input PSS3B and integral controlled AGC loop. A hybrid distributed generation (DG) system consisting of wind turbine generators, aqua electrolyzer, fuel cells, diesel engine generator, flywheel energy storage system and battery energy storage sy...
