Abstract


Distributed generations (DGs) play a key role in power distribution networks. Integration of DGs in distribution systems require optimal placement and sizing of distributed generators to yield minimum power losses and improve voltage profile. Optimal location of DG in power distribution is very important. This paper presents voltage stability analysis of Bauchi distribution network with distributed generation (DG) using power system analysis tools (PSAT) software. The proposed continuous power flow method (CPF) is done in two stages. First stage; CPF was run without distributed generation to find the weak bus of the network. The second stage was run with distribution generation connected at the weak bus. Particle swam optimization algorithm was used to locate the DG optimally and obtained optimal active power injection of DG. The distributed generation considered here is Waya Dam power plant Bauchi and is successfully done which improved the voltage profile of the weak buses in the network. From the results obtained, there is a reduction of power losses in the network after DG connection. The total real power loss reduction with DG is 92.5% whereas; the total reactive power loss reduction is 94.5% respectively.
