Load Flow Study of Power Distribution System with Distributed Generation Penetration

Abstract: In this Paper Distribution system load flow studies are different from those of transmission system, because of its high R/X ratio and radial nature. Several methods have been proposed earlier for doing this distribution load flow studies, but fast load flow algorithms with better results are always needed. Load flow algorithms for two feeders which are Airport Road feeder and seven sky urban feeder of PGVCL bhuj Subdivision-2 with and without inclusion of distributed generations and these are based on backward forward sweep method by using MATLAB Programming. Attention is given to number of iterations being taken for convergence, applicability for radial distribution systems for distribution systems having distributed generation where distributed generations are Photovoltaic model.
