A novel branch current flow-based construction of microgrids

<span>An efficient procedure for defining the boundaries of microgrids in smart distribution systems during distributed generation expansion planning becomes an important consideration constructing grids. A novel approach named "Modified Reverse Current Flow Method" is proposed this paper to split a large radial system into required number self-adequate microgrids. This cluster will be capable utilizing maximum power output renewable energy generators and act as highly reliable zones, both islanded grid-connected modes. method based on trend reversal flow current various parts circuit. uses practical machine operating curves calculate their reactive output. For considered system, applied find optimal point operation To bring out superiority method, improvement reliability indices economic savings are compared with results obtained using similar available literature. has several notable merits, namely, increased accuracy calculation annual losses voltage profile. </span>
