Planning of A Microgrid

Abstract

Microgrid planning is very important for generation and transmission expansion planning in electrical power system. This is an option for co-streamlining of era and transmission extension arranging.In distribution system, all connected microgrids transfer energy from its central to local sources for the network reliability satisfaction and also it satisfies the power quality required by local loads. The main objective is to minimize the power losses in the transmission planning by using distributed generators in 30 bus system and 52 bus system. Newton Raphson method is applied for load flow analysis to get the voltage and load angle for each bus in 30 bus system and 52 bus system. An optimization technique is used for getting optimal values in this transmission planning. Differential evolution algorithm technique is used as optimization technique in this planning. This optimization technique is applied to 30 bus system and 52 bus system. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of distributed generators in microgrid planning.
