Loss minimization using optimal allocation of photovoltaic units in unbalanced radial distribution feeders: A case study
The very mounting demand for the electricity supply and the raising concern about global warming and climate change have motivated the electricity sector to adopt renewable and local sources of energy. The incorporation of such sources into the distribution network poses a variety of benefits as well as challenges to the Distribution System Operators. The paper analyses a real life 4.3 MVA unbalanced distribution feeder in Kerala, India for its voltage profile improvement and power loss reduction with the addition of Photovoltaic (PV) units at the specified locations with optimal sizing. A methodology based on the Learning Automata (LA) algorithm is developed in order to find out the suitable size of the PV units to be installed at suitable locations in an unbalanced distribution feeder. The LA algorithm is efficient in handling the uncertainty associated with the PV power generation which is modelled using Beta Probability Density Function. The proposed algorithm is validated using the balanced feeder in the literature and extended for several unbalanced test feeders and the selected practical distribution feeder.
