I'm new to Simulink. How do I perform DG optimization study in Simulink? In Matlab, I would just use "for" and place the DG at random bus. How to do the same in Simulink?
Optimal Placement & Sizing Of Distributed Generation (DG) To Minimize Active Power Loss Using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)
Deepak Pandey, Jitendra Singh Bhadoriya
Abstract:
Growing concerns over environmental impacts, conditions for improvement of the
whole distribution network, and rebate programs offered by governments have contributed to an increment in the number of DG units in commercial and domestic electrical power output. It is known that the non optimal size and non optimal placement of DG units may lead to high power losses, bad voltage profiles. Therefore, this paper introduces a sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal sitting and sizing of DG units. A new methodology PSO for the placement of DG in the radial distribution systems to reduce the active power losses and to improve the voltage profile.
A two -stage methodology is practiced for the optimal DG placement.
In the first stage Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT), an open source MATLAB software package for analysis and design of small to medium size electric power
systems for power flow and in the second stage, PSO is used to find the optimal size and site of DG in distribution systems.
The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through IEEE 16 bus st
andard test systems.
Keywords: DG, PSAT, PSO, Loss minimization, Radial distribution system.
