| Popis: | The increasing demand for clean and nonfossil energy has escalated the integration of renewable power sources into the distribution system. Renewable distributed generators (DGs) have the potential to reduce the environmental impact when the integration into the distribution system is carefully optimized. However, serious technical issues will be raised when the integration is not properly implemented. This chapter presents optimal siting and sizing of renewable DG units within distribution systems. Both deterministic and probabilistic models of renewable-based DG units will be discussed in details along with characteristics of well-known renewable generators. The effects of DGs on distribution networks will be examined by defining several objective functions. The optimal DG siting and sizing problem will be introduced and formulated as an optimization problem and several solution methodologies will be discussed. Finally, a simple case study is provided that simulates the ideal placement of DG units within a distribution network. |
