Load Flow Analysis and the Impact of a Solar PV Generator in a Radial Distribution Network

The distribution system acts as a conduit between the consumer and bulk power grid. Due to characteristics such high resistance/reactance ratio, networks cannot be solved using conventional methods, Gauss-Seidel Newton–Raphson. This research proposes method for calculation of flow in radial that considers their wide range resistance reactance values, PV generator characteristics, structure. An iterative methodology is employed, with each iteration beginning branch has highest accurate solution. procedure reliable effective over various workloads network configurations. To confirm effectiveness suggested technique on simple IEEE 33-bus system, simulations were carried out MATLAB. implications including renewable energy source, generator, under consideration are investigated by simulation result comparison. optimal location was also determined an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) controller. results identification process improve already exceptional efficacy performance ANN
