TIME VARYING LOAD MODELS APPLICATION FOR OPTIMAL ALLOCATION AND SIZING OF PV SYSTEMS IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Distribution Generation (DG) is widely used in distribution systems to enhance the dynamic characteristics of the network such as improving the voltage profile, minimizing active and reactive power losses. A variable voltage load model is assumed in many distribution systems. Therefore, the results are more reliable and accurate. This paper proposes an analytical technique to size and site a photovoltaic based DG unit to minimize a multi objective function that depends on active and reactive power losses and voltage deviation taking into consideration the variable load model and mixed load between residential, commercial and industrial.
