Study on the Impact of Distributed Generation on Distribution Power Losses

Article Preview

Abstract:

The impact of distributed generation (DG) on distribution power losses is closely related to DG technologies and load distribution. DG units are modeled as PQ, PQ(V) and PV nodes in power flow calculation. A revised back/forward power flow method is employed to calculate distribution power flow with various types of DG units. Power losses are computed when different types of DG units are connected to heavy load, general load and light load area apart. Simulation on IEEE 33-bus distribution network shows that connecting DG to heavy load area helps to maximize the loss reduction. And the installation of DG consuming reactive power will increase network losses unless reactive power compensation device is installed accordingly.
