Energy Injection By Disbributed Generation For Enhancement Of Voltage Profile In Swer Systems, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Gerard Ledwich Jan 2005

Energy Injection By Disbributed Generation For Enhancement Of Voltage Profile In Swer Systems, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Gerard Ledwich

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

A system with Distributed Generation (DG) has greater load carrying capacity and can correct for a poor voltage profile during peak loading. This paper addresses the loading patterns of rural feeders and the relative effectiveness of real and reactive injection to support voltage profile in Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) systems. Real and reactive injection on a SWER network has been investigated and required energy for voltage enhancement estimated. DG with real and reactive injection (DG-PQ) using Q priority (DG-QPQ) can drastically reduce fuel and energy requirements compared to the amount required by proportional use of real and reactive power …

A new emerging trend of distribution networks is to use small generating units, known as distributed generation (DG), operating in parallel with the main grid. This kind of distribution networks has enabled DG to support power systems in fulfilling their requirements to increase power output as well as quality of power supply. DG has potential to alter power flows, system voltages, and the system performance. In order to maximise benefits from the DG system, proper DG planning is necessary. Determining an optimal DG size and its DG location are critical issues that are addressed in this paper. The main purpose …


Maximising Voltage Support In Distribution Systems By Distributed Generation, An D. T Le, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Michael Negnevitsky, Gerard Ledwich Jan 2005

Maximising Voltage Support In Distribution Systems By Distributed Generation, An D. T Le, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Michael Negnevitsky, Gerard Ledwich

Rapidly increasing in the demand of electricity along with recently advances in distributed generation (DG) technologies have sparked a new interest in utilisation of DG sources. However, there are a number of technical issues regarding to the installation of DG, since DG connection significantly affects existing network configuration and operation, especially for system with high level of DG penetration. To achieve maximum voltage support from DG utilisation, methodologies related to DG placement and DG operation are developed in this paper. Technique to optimise voltage improvement by effectively injecting active and reactive power of DG is developed based on voltage sensitivity …
