Impacts of Distributed Generators on Voltage Sag Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents impacts of distributed generators (DGs) such as synchronous-based DG and inverter-based DG on voltage sag analysis in distribution systems. Voltage sag analysis is assessed through area of vulnerability (AOV), number of sags frequency (NSF) and voltage sag index (SARFI). Single line-to-ground and three-phase faults are investigated. Size and location of DG are carried out by using Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) in order to minimize losses and number of sag frequency. Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) Bus 2 is used for simulation cases. Results show that the distribution system with DG installed improves voltage sag performance compared with the system without DG installed.
