Abstract

The integration of renewable resources into the existing power distribution system is expanding to reduce gas emissions, treat climate change and satisfy the current global need for clean energy. If the location and size of these renewable generators are determined without considering uncontrollable reactive power compensation caused by their intermittent nature, the resultant power system may suffer from system instability and decreased reliability. Therefore, the issue of optimal location and size of renewable resources attracts great attention. In this paper, a methodology is proposed to optimize the locations and capacities of distributed renewable generators installed in conventional power distribution systems. In particular, uncontrollable reactive power compensation of these renewable resources is considered in this paper and managed through the proposed methodology to ensure power system reliability and stability. As a result, the proposed methodology reminds us of the importance of reactive power compensation by performing better in power losses reduction and the robustness of voltage stability against variable reactive power compensation.
