Abstract

This Study proposes the feasibility of proposed restructured power system for the integration of distributed energy resources. Once the proposed power system network takes place, it will be able to provide opportunities for sustained economic growth. Main objectives of the proposed network are maximization of Distributed Generation (DGs) penetration and decarbonization of electric utility. IEEE-14 bus test system with proposed configuration has been undertaken for MATLAB® simulations are compared with genetic algorithm based optimization approach.

Keywords:

Distributed Generators (DGs), distribution networks, Genetic Algorithm (GA), green energy sources, smart grid,
