Effect of PV embedded generation on the radial distribution network

چکیده
Power distribution system in the country is characterized by high power losses, poor reliability of supply, frequent equipment burnouts etc. The traditional approach in electric power generation is to have centralized plants distributing electricity through an extensive transmission & distribution network. Distribution generation (dg) provides electric power at a site closer to the customer, eliminating the unnecessary transmission and distribution costs. This paper described a study of several control strategies associated with the design of active distribution network intended to increase the level of penetration of embedded generation (eg) in distribution networks. By allowing the embedded generator to take part in voltage regulation, larger capacities of embedded generation to be accommodated in the existing distribution network. The load flow study of radial distribution with embedded generation has been carried out. The results being verified by using both PSB and MATLAB code also.
