Power loss reduction is an important problem that needs to be addressed with respect to generating electrical power. It is important to reduce power loss using locally generated power sources and/or compensations. This chapter brings a method of presents a method of maximizing energy utilization, feeder loss reduction, and voltage profile improvement for radial distribution network using the active and reactive power sources. Distributed Generation (DG) (wind and solar with backup by biomass generation) and shunt capacitor (QG) for reactive power demand are used. Integrating DG and QG at each bus might reduce the loss but it is economically unaffordable, especially for developing countries. Therefore, the utilization optimization method is required for finding an optimal size and location to feeders for placing QG and DG to minimize feeder loss.

The reliability of distribution network can be improved with the penetration of small scale distributed generation (DG) unit to the distribution grid. Nevertheless, the location and sizing of the DG in the distribution network have always become a topic of debate. This problem arises as different capacity of DG at various location can affect the performance of the entire system. The main objective of this study is to recommend a suitable size of DG to be placed at the most appropriate location for better voltage profile and minimum power loss. Therefore, this paper presents an analytical approach with a fixed DG step size of 500 kW up to 4500 kW DG to analyses the effect of a single P-type DG in IEEE 33 bus system with consideration of system power loss and voltage profile. Four scenarios have been selected for discussions where Scenario 1: 3500 kW DG placed at node 3; Scenario 2: 2500 kW DG placed at node 6; Scenario 3: 1000 kW DG placed at node 18 and Scenario 4: 3000 kW DG placed at node 7. Results show that all the four scenarios are able to reduce the power loss and improve the voltage profile however Scenario 4 has better performance where it complies with minimum voltage requirement and minimizing the system power loss.

The expansion of renewable energy is continuing powerfully. Electrical system ought to transmit power with diminished loss, improved power quality, and reliability while pleasing the need of customer’s load demand. Nevertheless, owing to the exhaustion of fossil fuels and their environmental impact, the availability of quality, stable, and reliable power in developing countries is worrying. Integrating a solar-wind based microgrid to the distribution network is the more feasible and best alternative solution to gratify the customer intensifying power demand while seeing the strict environmental regulations of generating power. However, the microgrid system connected in a distribution network has diverse problems and challenges. The problems comprise the development of voltage sag and swell, voltage unbalance, and power losses because of the intermittent nature of PV and wind resources. The objective of this study is to integrate microgrid system with STATCOM (static synchronous compensator) controller to ensure the higher power flow with enhanced voltage profile and reduced power loss. MATLAB/PSAT is used to model microgrid and STATCOM controller connected to the grid. Proportional integral (PI) and fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are also applied to control the STATCOM. The effectiveness of STATCOM with microgrid integration is tested by connecting to the main distribution system using standard IEEE 30-bus system. Finally, it was observed that STATCOM raises the capacity of the distribution line and contributes to voltage profile improvements and power loss reduction.

The electrical distribution system has experienced a number of important changes due to the integration of distributed and renewable energy resources. Optimal integration of distributed generators (DGs) and distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) of the radial network have significant impacts on the power system. The main aim of this study is to optimize the power loss reduction and DG penetration level increment while keeping the voltage profile improvements with in the permissible limit. To do so, a hybrid of analytical approach and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are proposed. The proposed approach was tested on 33-bus and 69-bus distribution networks, and significant improvements in power loss reduction, DG penetration increment, and voltage profile were achieved. Compared with the base case scenario, power loss was reduced by 89.76% and the DG penetration level was increased by 81.59% in the 69-bus test system. Similarly, a power loss reduction of 82.13% and DG penetration level increment of 80.55% was attained for the 33-bus test system. The simulation results obtained are compared with other methods published in the literature.
