Distributed generators (DG) are slowly changing the operation electricity distribution systems as it offers advantages such as avoiding transmission and distribution costs, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. However it comes with major integration issues, one of which is the pronounced voltage variations in the network, especially those with intermittent DG. Voltage control can be...
The Distribution Efficiency Initiative consisted of two independent projects. The load research project monitored and controlled the voltage at 395 homes, whereas the pilot demonstration project monitored and controlled the voltage at the substation/feeder level. The study concluded by employing distribution efficiencies and voltage optimization energy, demand, and showed that reactive power could...
Electric distribution systems are becoming large and complex leading to higher system losses and poor voltage regulation. This has stressed the need for an efficient and effective distribution network. The main objective of this paper work is to determine optimal location for capacitor placement in radial distribution feeders to improve the voltage profile and reduce the energy loss. This problem...
