A method for definition of the active power limits of distributed generation through an optimal strategy

Distributed generation is already a reality in almost all countries in the world. Wind farms, cogeneration systems and SHP (small hydropower) are already common elements that can be connected to medium voltage systems (up to 15kV). Additionally, with the development of technology and reduced costs, it is expected that the number of generations connected to the network increases, whether coming from solar collectors, biomass, SHP, wind, or any other kind which will become popular. Based on this premise, a new problem arises, what is the best place for each connection to the network. This work aims to develop a method that will determine the best connection point for each generation to the distribution network in order to achieve a reduction in active power flows in its sections, so that, the global network loading becomes minimal.
