Abstract: Recently, there has been great interest in the integration of distributed generation units at the distribution level. The foreseeable large use of DG in the future requires the distribution system engineers to properly take into account its impact in the system planning. When considering DG impact the attention should be paid in the siting and sizing of DG units. This paper proposes the use of analytical expressions for finding the optimal size and site of DG in distribution systems. Keywords: DG, sizing, siting, Exact Loss Formula, BIBC and BVBC. I. INTRODUCTION

Distributed generation unlike centralized electrical generation aims to generate electrical energy on small scale as near as possible to load centers, which provide an incremental capacity to power system. In the deregulated power market, concerns about the environment as well as economic issues have led increased interest in distributed generations. The emergence of new technological alternatives (photovoltaic systems, wind power, cogeneration, etc.) allows generating part of the required energy closer to the point of use, improving quality levels and minimizing the investments costs associated with of transmission and distribution

    Rural Electric Cooperatives provide power to more than 42 million customers in rural communities across America, making them an integral part of the electric utility industry. As demand for electricity continues to grow at a rapid pace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the infrastructure needed to meet that demand. Power loss due to inefficiency of distribution lines has been a major concern for many electric utilities, especially for Rural Electric Cooperatives, because a great deal of energy is lost traveling long distances between customers in rural areas. Modern technology may provide long term solutions to improve power line efficiency. The purpose of this research is to determine the most cost-effective and feasible technologies available that can, theoretically, be implemented into a grid system to improve efficiency and reduce…

    Smart Grid Summary

    • 2 Pages

    It is a reality that existing traditional model of electricity generation and distribution is very old and not efficient. Technological advances applied in every sector nowadays but not in electricity generation model. As a result of high demand, the traditional model has become too costly, and now oil costs increased, and especially coal-fired generation has contributed to environmental pollution. And traditional model has big problems in terms of security since some big horrendous experiences with electricity deregulations and blackouts. A Smart Model is defined as distributed generation, renewable energy, renewable portfolio standards and the Smart Grid. This model responds to concerns about energy, environment and security. Distributed Generation aims to make production locally instead of large regional heavy grids for transmission and distribution. Solar cells and wind tribunes will take the place. The goal in changing the production type to small scale is, economic efficiencies by removing producers from the grid, environmental benefits , energy efficiencies , energy security advantages from terroristic attack, catastrophic accidents.. Article also put emphasis on pricing electricity. Traditional model is based on an average cost of electric generation no matter using it in a peak demand time or a regular time. Peak time electric generation cost is more expensive than regular hours because existing system has older and inefficient generation plants which are normally not used but being used to fulfill high demand in peak hours and also distribution cost is high because of high demand for electricity creates transmission congestion. Smart pricing provides marginal cost will give a more comfortable using style to consumer and help to conservation of energy. In last part of the article express with mathematical calculations that installation of smart meters is highly cost-effective than adding new generation and transmission capacity to existing electrical…

    Solar plants are often built in remote areas, with deserts being the ideal location based on sunlight and potential for mass energy production. That being said, electricity produced in such a region requires long distance Transport. By means of transformers, energy loss over this vast distance can be minimized. It is important to maximize voltage, but within reason as to not overwork wires or mediating energy stations, to avoid energy losses.…

    The use of DG can be defined as an alternative to expand the capacity of the electrical system supply is being considered around the world. The use of small generating units, connected in a dispersed way at distribution/sub-transmission systems, can bring benefits to consumers and utilities, especially in places where there is deficiency of the electric energy transport system. However, the uncertainties involved in the planning and operation of system become bigger with the presence of DG. The impact of DG on reliability of electric systems depends mainly on two aspects:…
