Özet
Distributed generation is becoming a part of the strategic plans of electricity providers for effective system management. The proper planning of multiple distributed generation units plays an important role in modern power systems to offer a highly reliable system. Computation of power flows is one of the major tasks in system planning studies. Conventional load flow analysis methods are impractical to evaluate every possible or probable combination of loads and different allocations of distributed generation units because of the extremely large computational effort required. This article proposes an expansion method to perform load flow analysis with consideration of multiple distributed generation integration and load uncertainties. The proposed approach offers a method to handle the impacts of all possible allocations of distributed generation units without increasing computational efforts. The impacts of placement and penetration level of multiple distributed generation on power losses, voltage deviation, and line capacity are investigated under load uncertainty over a long-term period on the IEEE 57-, IEEE 30-, IEEE 14-, and 9-bus networks for future planning study purposes. The study results indicate that the proposed method has significantly reduced the computational efforts while maintaining a high degree of accuracy in evaluating various possible scenarios in which multiple distributed generation units have to be integrated into the grid.
