Abstract:

Energy shortages in India's electricity industry are mostly the result of a generation-demand disparity. To accommodate the demand for generation, new power generation facilities are planned. There are plans to expand the distribution and transmission networks. Distributed generation (DG) is small-scale energy production that uses renewable resources and is connected directly to the distribution network. DGs are advantageous in that they are environmentally benign, require less time to construct, and do not require a complicated transmission and distribution network between generation and consumption. DGs will also affect the distribution system's voltage drop, stability, and power losses. In this study, a single 11 kV radial distribution feeder is simulated-analyzed to examine the effects of various DG technologies on the decrease of power loss. Due to their ability to inject reactive power, synchronous generators used for wind energy production result in the lowest possible power loss. Reactive power from the grid is needed for induction generators, which results in minimal power loss reduction. Only active power is generated by PV cells, which leads in a modest reduction in power losses.
