Abstract

Steady state analysis of primary distribution system is an integral part of Micro Grid (MG) planning, design and operation of distribution system. In order to maximize performance and ensure secured operation of distribution system with MG, it is important to perform various analytical studies, both in static and dynamic domains. Static studies are the first step and static performance can be established by looking at a number of stead state aspects such as total power losses, voltage profile, feeder current and load ability of the system. This study presents such first step static analytical studies based on distribution load flow to see various steady state performances of primary distribution system due to the integration of MG. A 33-bus test distribution system has been used to present steady state performances. Results clearly show some useful contribution of MG in improving distribution system performance.
