Abstract :
This work presents a new approach for placement and dispersing of decentralized generation (DG) power in medium voltage distribution networks based on continuation power flow (CPF) method. The main objectives of the proposed method are to maximize the normal operation loadability (NOL) (i.e. the maximum loading which can be supplied by the power system while the voltages at all nodes are kept within the limits) and to obtain more benefits from the same amount of DG power. The results obtained with the proposed methodology for a 85 node distribution network demonstrate its applicability.
