Distributed Wind Generation siting and sizing considering fluctuate wind resources

The introduction of Distributed Wind Generation (DWG) into distribution networks has a significant effect on the losses and voltage distribution of the network. This effect can be detrimental or beneficial depending on where DWG units are allocated and which sizes they have. This paper deals with optimal siting and sizing of DWG units for minimizing the total power losses and improving the voltage levels in a radial distribution network. A long-term dynamic simulation method in DigSILENT software was applied to study the impact on voltage distribution and losses of the network by DWG considering wind resources and load fluctuation. To increase the DWG penetration, in the course of seeking the optimal location of DWG, considering utilizing the reactive ability to control the voltage of the connection point after wind integration. The method is implemented and tested on a typical regional distribution network.
