In this paper, a study of power flow based on the Modified Backward-Forward method was used to capture the complexities of unbalanced three phase radial distribution system in the 20 kV distribution network in North Surabaya city, East Java, Indonesia within considering distributed generation models. In summary, for the informants in this study, the Modified Backward-Forward method has had quickly convergence and it’s just needed 3 to 5 iteration of power flow simulation which’s compared to other power flow development methods. Distributed Generation models in the modified the modified 34 BUS IEEE system and 20 kV distribution network has gained voltage profile value on limited range. One of the more significant findings to emerge from this development is that the Modified Backward-Forward method has average of error voltage about 0.0017 % to 0.1749%.</p>

A Radial Distribution network is important in power system area because of its simple design and reduced cost. Reduction of system losses and improvement of voltage profile is one of the key aspects in power system operation. Distributed generators are beneficial in reducing losses effectively in distribution systems as compared to other methods of loss reduction. Sizing and location of DG sources places an important role in reducing losses in distribution network. Four types of DG are considered in this paper with one DG installed for minimize the total real and reactive power losses. The objective of this methodology is to calculate size and to identify the corresponding optimum location for DG placement for minimizing the total real and reactive power losses and to improve voltage profile   in primary distribution system. It can obtain maximum loss reduction for each of four types of optimally placed DGs. Optimal sizing of Distributed Generation can be calculated using exact loss formula and an efficient approach is used to determine the optimum location for Distributed Generation Placement.  To demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach 36-bus radial distribution system in Belin Substation in Myanmar was tested and validated with different sizes and the result was discussed.

This paper intends to enumerate the impact of distributed generation (DG) on distribution system in terms of active as well as reactive power loss reduction and improved voltage stability. The novelty of the method proposed in this paper is the simple and effective way of sizing and siting of DG in a distribution system by using two-port Z-bus parameters. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the results with already published methods. Comparative study presented has shown that the proposed method leads existing methods in terms of its simplicity, undemanding calculation procedures, and less computational efforts and so does the time. The method is implemented on IEEE 69-bus test radial distribution system and results show significant reduction in distribution power losses with improved voltage profile of the system. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment for execution of the proposed algorithm.


Distributed generation system penetration in the existing distribution system is done for minimizing the losses and improving the voltage profile. There are total five types of distributed generation systems exist based on their power delivery like distributed generation system injecting real and reactive power, supplying real power only, supplying reactive power only, absorbing reactive power only , supplying real power and absorbing reactive power. All these five types of distributed generation systems have different penetration effects on the radial distribution system. We get different voltage profiles and power losses for different types of distributed generation systems. The testing of these five types of distributed generation systems will be done on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. For computing, the line parameters and power losses of the above testing system the forward-backward sweep load flow method will be applied

<p>This paper presents an integration of distributed generation and capacitor in radial distribution system via Firefly Algorithm (FA).  In this study, the FA is developed in order to determine the optimal location and size for compensation schemes namely distributed generation (DG) and compensating capacitor (CC). The FA which is a meta-heuristic algorithm is inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies. The proposed technique was tested on IEEE Reliability Test systems namely the IEEE 69-bus and the program was developed using the MATLAB programming software. The results shown a significant reduction in the line losses and voltage profile improvement has been obtained with the installation of distributed generation and capacitor in the system.</p>


Reconfiguration is a process that supports to eliminate the power loss from a distribution network and this process have the capability to reduce the losses up to a specific point. Additionally, loss minimization may be calculated through the presentation of Distributed Generation (DG) units. Conversely, the incorporation of DG into the distribution network at an improper position may cause higher in losses and fluctuations in voltage. In the meantime, the uncertainty in voltage may produce partial power failure in the system. For that reason, it is essential to deliberate the stability boundaries in DGs position and sizing in the Radial Distribution System (RDS). In this research paper, hybrid Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) with Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is proposed for the ideal reconfiguration process and placing the DG in the 69-bus RDS. BPSO is applied to identify the best DG reconfiguration and FPA is proposed to determine the optimal DG size. This technique narrowly changes the DG location in every load bus of the network that delivers the minimum value of the objective function, which is considered as the finest candidate for DG connection. The simulation outcomes indicate the proposed method is more effective in reducing the power loss from 224.9804 to 27.2183 KW with the reduction of 88.8972% when compared to existing algorithm

Power loss and voltage instability are major problems in distribution systems. However, these problems are typically mitigated by efficient network reconfiguration, including the integration of distributed generation (DG) units in the distribution network. In this regard, the optimal placement and sizing of DGs are crucial. Otherwise, the network performance will be degraded. This study is conducted to optimally locate and sizing of DGs into a radial distribution network before and after reconfiguration. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized to determine the optimal placement and sizing of the DGs before and after reconfiguration of the radial network. An optimal network configuration with DG coordination in an active distribution network overcomes power losses, uplifts voltage profiles, and improves the system stability, reliability, and efficiency. For considering the actual power system scenarios, a penalty factor is also considered, this penalty factor plays a crucial role in the minimization of total power loss and voltage profile enhancement. The simulation results showed a significant improvement in the percentage power loss reduction (32% and 68.05% before and after reconfiguration, respectively) with the inclusion of DG units in the test system. Similarly, the minimum bus voltage of the system is improved by 4.9% and 6.53% before and after reconfiguration, respectively. The comparative study is performed, and the results showed the effectiveness of the proposed method in reducing the voltage deviation and power loss of the distribution system. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on the IEEE-33 bus radial distribution system, using MATLAB software.
