Abstract This paper presents a method for distributed generation (DG) allocation in medium voltage (MV) distribution system based on energy loss minimization. The main objective of the research is to design, implement and test a DG allocation (siting and sizing) method and to investigate how optimal DG allocation influence the operational parameters of the system from the Distribution System Operator (DSO) perspective. The problem is formulated as a single objective optimization problem solved by using both genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization techniques. Model of a realistic Electric Power Distribution System (EPDS) and IEEE 37-bus EPDS are used as test systems. The results confirm that proposed algorithms can be used for practical DG allocation. The research presented contributes to the field as it provides a DG allocation method for energy loss reduction performed on a EPDS which can be applied in realistic planning and regulatory situations using open-source software.

Abstract Environmental issues and the current global energy crisis serve as further motivators for the promotion of renewable energy sources. However, integrating these sources into existing power grids presents numerous challenges. As the connection capacity approaches its limits, it is imperative to employ innovative engineering methods to integrate distributed generation (DG) into resilient, self-healing smart grids of the future. One such tool is Hosting Capacity (HC) analysis, which is an emerging power system-planning tool used to position investments toward parts of the network that can absorb additional generation and promote efficient use of energy sources, avoiding overloading, inefficiencies, DG misallocations, and network failures. In this study, a technique for calculating the ideal HC in a power system is presented. The goal of this research is to develop a replicable optimization methodology for determining HC in smart distribution systems using a single objective constrained optimization problem solved through the use of genetic algorithm (GA). Detailed power system load and generation modeling and the use of advanced open-source research tool for load flow optimization improve the confidence in the proposed model. This research contributes to collective knowledge of the subject matter and establishes a reliable optimization methodology for determining HC in power systems.

While distributed generators (DGs) can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, they can also cause disturbances and lead to power quality (PQ) issues, with harmonic voltages being an important parameter to consider. In this paper, the impact of 14 connected photovoltaics (PVs) and a small hydropower plant (sHPP) on harmonic voltage distortions in a real medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) distribution network in Bosnia and Herzegovina was analyzed. Simulation tools carried out by DigSILENT PowerFactory offer a wide range of advantages that give system operators the ability to have insight into PQ behavior in the presence of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES). Due to the inverter-based electricity generation, PV power plants inject harmonics into the LV network. The impact is relatively small and does not violate the limits from the European PQ standard EN 50160 due to the relatively small power of the modelled existing PVs. However, integrating additional PVs could lead to a violation of limits. Therefore, where a large power of PV power plants is installed, if it is possible to integrate sHPP, they will contribute to the reduction of generated harmonics without the need to reduce the power of PV. The contribution of this paper is that it compares the impact of different power generation technologies on harmonic voltages using data from a real network rather than a test network.

This paper presents the implementation of the Binary Search Algorithm (BSA) to determine the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a photovoltaic (PV) system under variable weather conditions. Additionally, the conventional well-known Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm is also implemented to be compared with the binary search based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Both algorithms are implemented in real time in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The experimental study is performed using the two 260 W series connected PV modules, the buck converter, and Humusoft MF 634 card to enable real-time operation. The value of the duty cycle for the buck converter is being updated in each step moving the operation point closer to MPP. The obtained experimental results demonstrate that the binary search based MPPT algorithm is more efficient and accurate when compared to the P&O MPPT algorithm.

As the demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources grows, the use photovoltaic (PV) systems have seen rise in popularity and recognition. The performance of PV systems is influenced by numerous factors such as solar irradiance, temperature, and the tilt angle of the PV modules. Among these factors, the tilt angle of the PV modules plays a crucial role in determining the amount of energy that can be generated by a PV system. This paper explores the impact of tilt angle on the output and performance of grid-connected PV systems by using the software PVsyst. The study will examine how different tilt angles affect the energy yield, electrical characteristics, and performance ratio of PV system. A study was conducted to compare the performance of a PV system with fixed tilt angle versus seasonal tilt arrangement. The results showed that a seasonal tilt arrangement led to improved performance and increased electricity generation.
