Impact of Distributed Generation Allocation and Sizing on Reliability Indices of Electrical Distribution Networks

Loai Mohamed Ali EL-Sayed;

Abstract


In this thesis, a new strategy is developed to deal with the impacts
of distributed generation (DG) on reliability indices in a radial
distribution networks. This problem is due to the continuous and growing
demand for energy and increasing electrical loads which are paid to the
limits of electrical systems reliability and increasing the risk of
widespread dissemination of electrical outages. This research cares with
many ways to improve the reliability of the electric distribution networks.
The developed strategy is implemented on a simple radial
distribution network (Example Test System) to ensure the accuracy of
results and reviewed with publication by using ETAP & NEPLAN
packages which incorporate varying degrees of complexity and data to
evaluate the expected reliability indices at the load point and at the
system, Study the effect of protective degrees on reliability indices, the
proposed placement of switches and protective devices leads to minimize
the total cost while simultaneously improvement of reliability indices, and
Study the effect of the presence of an alternative source at the end of the
line assuming that there is no restriction on the amount of load that can be
transferred through the back feed.
This thesis covers several implications of (DG) installation on a
radial distribution system. The work is focused on analysing the impact of
DG installation on distribution network operation including reliability of
the system. The reliability analysis (SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, ASAI, ASUI,
EENS, AENS, ECOST, IEAR,) of the system is performed by
installing DGs as backup generators. The proposed strategy is
implemented on a radial distribution network known and published in an
IEEE (RBTS BUS-2) by using ETAP & NEPLAN packages; the obtained
results are presented and discussed.
