OPTIMAL ALLOCATION AND CONTINGENCY ANALYSIS WITH MULTIPLE EMBEDDED GENERATION UNITS IN RADIAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK USING GA KOTA SHIRISHA REDDY, L. RAMADEVI, G. SRAVANTHI & KOGANTI SRI LAKSHMI Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, SNIST, Hyderabad, Telangana, India ABSTRACT The integration of embedded generation (EG) units into the distribution system brings technical and economic benefits to the power system network. But, placement of EG s at non optimized locations can effect voltage profile with increased system losses. This paper intends the optimal placement and contingency analysis of several Embedded Generation (EG) units in distribution network using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The main intention is to diminish the total real power losses with proper voltage profile. It go behinds the conversation of evaluating the effect of the location and the size of EG to the system before and after contingency is created in the system by fault. The projected allocation method and contingency analysis is verified using IEEE-33 and 69 bus radial distribution systems. The algorithm has been programmed in MATLAB and results are compared. KEYWORDS: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Embedded Generation (EG), Contingency Analysis INTRODUCTION In recent years, due to the increasing interest on renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy, all over the world, the number of studies on embedded generation (EG) has rapidly increased and makes EG units cost effective. By this, injection of embedded generation systems to distribution networks not only diminishes the power losses but also improves voltage profile of the network. The problem of global warming and exhaustion of fossil fuel have fostered the increased usage of less environmentally-polluting embedded generation (EG) sources closer to load demands in the distribution system [5]. EG units are rapidly increasing and becoming an impressive alternative to grid for reliability and ability to exploit renewable energy sources. Literature survey shows that a lot of work has been done on optimal location and size of EG units in distribution networks. Some of such studies are: Tabu search [1], Artificial Intelligence (AI), Evolutionary computation, fuzzy-ga algorithm, Ant Colony Search Algorithm (ACSA) [2], Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are some of popular optimization techniques that are normally used to solve this type of problems. The associated works is carried on GA for optimal placement of EG using MATLAB as a tool for solving that problem which has been proposed in. In additionally we worked on multiple EG's with and without contingency analysis. This paper provides solution for problem of optimal allocation and contingency analysis by using Topology based load flow solution technique [3] with genetic algorithm by considering EG as PQ model. When compared to other search techniques in this proposed technique convergence is fully guaranteed and computation time is very Minimum www.tjprc.org editor@tjprc.org

42 Kota Shirisha Reddy, L. Ramadevi, G. Sravanthi & Koganti Sri Lakshmi TOPOLOGY BASED LOAD FLOW SOLUTION In Distribution networks R/X ratio is very high and due to this, these networks are unconditional and conventional therefore Newton-Raphson (NR) and fast decoupled load flow (FDLF) methods are inaccurate in providing solution for such type of networks. Here in this paper, Topology based approach is used [4]. This proposed technique contains only evaluation of a simple algebraic expression of voltage magnitude without caring of trigonometric terms so that it eliminates the complex process of identifying nodes connected beyond a particular node. The two matrices, bus injection to node power matrix [BINP] and line loss to node power matrix [LLNP] are created based on connectivity of network. Under assumption that shunt capacitance is negligible at the distribution voltage level chance of convergence is fully possible. It is assumed that the three-phase radial distribution networks are balanced. This assumption is quite valid for 11kV rural distribution feeders in India and elsewhere. Formation of BINP, LLNP Matrices Let us Consider 6- Bus Radial Distribution Network (figure 1) Figure 1: Sample 6-Bus Radial Distribution System Bus-Injection to Node Power Matrix (BINP) Matrix For fig1.1.1, N2, N3, N4, N5 and N6 are the equivalent powers at each Node. N2= S3+ S4 + S5 + S6 N3 = S3 + S5 N4 = S4+ S6 Where S3, S4, S5 and S6 are complex load powers at buses 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively [N] = [BINP] [S] (1) = * Line Loss to Node Power matrix (LLNP) matrix: The relation between the line losses and node power can be obtained by following equations: Impact Factor (JCC): 5.9638 Index Copernicus Value (ICV): 3.0

Optimal Allocation and Contingency Analysis with Multiple 43 Generation Units in Radial Distribution Network Using GA N2 = SL1 + SL2 +SL3+ SL4 +SL5 N3 = SL4 N4 = SL5 Complex power losses associated with lines 1, 2,3,4,5 are given by SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and SL5 respectively. Sum of the line losses appearing at Node 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are given by N2, N3, N4, N5, N6. [N ] = [LLNP] [SL] (2) = * Effective load at each node = N + N (3) The algorithm to solve the load low problem is given below. Read the system data, V1= 1.0 p.u. Line losses are assumed to be zero in the first iteration. Build BINP matrix and LLNP matrix. Obtain P effective + j*q effective, at each node. Initialize iteration count =1 Obtain receiving end voltages using V2= (B[j]-A[j]) and power loss on all lines using P LOSS [j] =R[j]*(P 2 2 +Q 2 2 )/V 2 2, Q LOSS [j] =X[j]*(P 2 2 +Q 2 2 2 )/V 2 and S LOSS =P LOSS + JQ LOSS Multiply the power loss column matrix, SL with LLNP matrix to get N matrix. N represents the part of line losses in the effective load at various nodes.[n ] = [LLNP] [SL] Calculate the total effective load at various nodes by adding the N and N matrix. Effective load at each node = N + N Increment the iteration count Repeat the steps from step (5) using new effective loads at every node. If the difference in the voltages between present iteration and previous iteration is greater than 0.001 pu, then increment the iteration count and repeat from step (5), otherwise, print the result. FUNCTION OF GA IN OPTIMAL PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF EG The genetic algorithm (GA) is an optimization and searching technique which operates on the principle of genetics and natural selection [6], [7]. Here, continuous or floating GA is used as it is having a benefit of exact representation of the continuous parameter. Continuous Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to determine the optimal placement and size of Embedded Generation units in the distribution system in order to diminish the total losses in the system. By reducing these losses, the voltage profile at each bus is expected to be enhanced [8]. This scheme needs load flow to run for several times. Later, getting the optimal placement and size simultaneously for Embedded Generation (EG), the algorithm is finished. www.tjprc.org editor@tjprc.org

44 Kota Shirisha Reddy, L. Ramadevi, G. Sravanthi & Koganti Sri Lakshmi The objective function is the results of total loss of the system, Ploss to be minimized, H as follows: H= Where, nline is number of lines in the system, Ploss is the real power losses at each bus, H is the total real power losses that are to be minimized. T he total length of chromosome is equal to (number of EG s x 2). the first variable represents the location and the second one represents the size of EG in chromosome. Figure 2: Chromosome After evaluating each chromosome, the objective function is transformed and normalized to a fitness scheme to be maximized as follows: f=1/ (1+H), f is the fitness function that is to be maximized. v CONTINGENCY ANALYSIS Contingency analysis is the study of the outage of elements such as transmission lines, transformers and generators, and investigation of the resulting effects on line power flows and bus voltages of the remaining system. It is important for both the system operator and the system planner to be able to evaluate how the line flows and bus voltages will be altered in the new steady state. Overloads due to excessive line currents must be avoided and voltages that are too high or too low are not acceptable because they render the system more vulnerable to follow on cascading outages. The large numbers of possible outages are analyzed by means of contingency analysis. Great precision is not required in contingency analysis since the primary interest knows whether or not an insecure or vulnerable condition exists in the steady state following any of the outages [9]. This chapter focuses on the IEEE-33 and IEEE 69-bus test systems on which the analysis is done by introducing the contingency situation which is referring to the fault (i.e. line 3-28 in IEEE-69 and line 2-19 in IEEE-33) to see the impact of EG that has or have been installed in the system. The study will emphasize on the changes of voltage profile and the system losses before and after reconfigurations caused by the fault with EGs. However, the type of faults is not to be considered since it is assumed that the system is reconfigured after the isolation of the fault. This study will help in finding the trends of optimal size and location of EG s in these test systems. OPTIMAL ALLOCATION STUDY AND DISCUSSIONS The proposed method has been tested on IEEE-33 and 69 bus radial distribution systems.

The GA properties are as follows: Mutation probability, pm = 0.5 Selection=0.5 Population = 50 Number of EG units = up to5 than 5. The reason for using 5 units of EG s that there is no considerable reduce in real losses when adding EG units more Variation of Total Power Losses with Respect to Iterations for IEEE-33 and 69 Bus Systems without Contingency: From the figure 3 it is clear that, for IEEE-33 bus system the Real power losses without placing EG is 0.308PU, while connecting 5 EG units, active power losses are reduced to 0.0195 PU.

Here, Multiple EG installation cases were studied using IEEE 33 bus distribution system. The results demonstrated and emphasized that multiple EG installations decreased total real power losses more than single EG installations. However, multiple DG installations may result in unnecessary additional costs.
