Operational management of renewable distributed generation integrated conditionally with the power distribution system

In modern power system the dependency on the large centralized generation network has been reduced by installing local Distributed Generation (DG), integrated at medium or high voltage level with power distribution system. In many researches the permanent integration of these DGs with different capacities is discussed. It is investigated that these DGs may create technical problems under the high load variations. An intelligent operational management system is required to operate the DGs in the conditions of highly load variation. In this paper an operating mechanism of Photovoltaic (PV) and Energy from the Municipal Solid Waste based distributed generation at optimal sites is proposed. Partial or conditional integration of these DGs have been carried out under scheduled load variation. The performance analysis of the distribution system is carried out here under different load scenarios and effectiveness of proposed technique is presented. It is depicted from the findings of the proposed technique that DGs not only reduce the power demand on utility grid but also reduce energy loss and enhance the end user voltage profile.
