Title
A Modified Distflow For Distributed Generation Planning Problems In Radial Grids
Abstract
This paper focuses on a simplified expression of the load flow constraints for the optimal planning of distributed generation (DG) in radial grids. The proposed approach lies on the conventional DistFlow equations improved with the consideration of linearized bi-directional losses and their impact on the voltage profiles. The method is validated on various radial test cases and allows to run time coupled power flows in order to consider dynamic constraints (e.g. battery state of chare) in short computational times. With the help of the proposed method, a DG placement problem is solved in less than 2 minutes with an exhaustive search over a 69 buses system and the operation is simulated along a single representative day. A scalability test is finally performed with longer time horizons and greater numbers of connected DG. The developed approach allows to run the operation of a 69 buses system over 2 months and with 20 connected DGs in less than 5 minutes.
