Opis

In terms of technological advancement, DGs play a crucial role in minimizing power losses in the distribution system so as to achieve load requirements. An increase in power production has been capable of meeting growing demands for the distribution system at the loading stations. One way to meet the essential load demand in distribution system is to reduce overall power losses. By lowering the reactive power losses of the system, real power can be increased across the network. Therefore, by optimally allocating the DG units in distribution system we can minimize the power losses. The main aim of this book is to determine the best possible location and size of DG units to minimize the total reactive power losses and thereby reducing real power losses while keeping a better voltage profile in radial distribution system. This book suggested an analytical method and also a new constant PVSF (Power Voltage Sensitivity Factor) that identify the best optimally size and location of DGs.
