Abstract

Depletion of fossil fuel, urbanization and industrial growth are the major factors for increase in demand of electrical energy.A practical way to distress such issue is to use SERs. It comprises of low capacity generating units installed near load centers. The penetration of SER units at distribution side is continuously increasing. Renewable energy-basedSERs such as Photo Voltaic, wind turbine, fuel cell etc.arewidely used to meet out the increased demand but it also increases the system complexity. SERs may also be used for reactive power support but it greatly varies with the type of SER units. SER placement in distribution system is achallenging issue. In this paper Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) base Type-1 DG/SER allocation and sizing methodology has been discussed. The IEEE 33 RDS has been tested for the proposed approachand found to be effective in term of overall power loss minimization.
