“…The energy flow and voltage conditions at customers and utility equipment are greatly impacted by the addition of DGs to distribution networks. Depending on the distribution networks, DG characteristics, and operating parameters, these effects could be either beneficial or detrimental [46,47]. However, if renewable energy sources are not allocated properly, their unchecked growth could cause issues for power systems.…”

With the increasing prevalence of distributed generation (DG) and power electronic-based technologies, consumers will have more alternatives for obtaining energy from different public or private sources. The issues will be with power quality (PQ), pricing, and reliability. Shortly, maintaining acceptable power quality levels above certain acceptable thresholds will be challenging because of the special difficulties brought on by nonlinear loads and novel types of load equipment. The significance of current and voltage quality issues increases even further in such an environment of competition. The chapter is dedicated to presenting an overview of PQ definitions, disturbances, causes, and standards. Harmonic description, sources, effects, and harmonic filtering techniques are also presented. Then, renewable-based DGs and HC studies—types, challenges, and solutions, are demonstrated. Further, a literature overview of the existing solutions under consideration (harmonic management) is presented and discussed.

“…In the literature, various approaches were employed to increase DGs penetration via promising strategies, which have proven their ability to maximize the HC of the distribution networks of different sizes [3]. These strategies include distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) [7,8], soft open points (SOPs) [9,10], network reinforcement [11], harmonic contents reduction [12,13], static var compensator [14], and others. HC was assessed in Reference [7] for a real large distribution network in Japan composed of 235 switches via choosing the optimal configurations arising from enumerating the partial networks.…”

“…Multi-period optimal power flow is formulated in Reference [8] to maximize the HC of the 34-node distribution network. In Reference [9], HC was assessed for the 83-node distribution network using multiple SOPs and DGs allocation along with DNR. HC was measured for a real project in Great Britain, aiming to join two networks via an SOP [10].…”

Renewable energy integration has been recently promoted by many countries as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. In many research works, the optimal allocation of distributed generations (DGs) has been modeled mathematically as a DG injecting power without considering its intermittent nature. In this work, a novel probabilistic bilevel multi-objective nonlinear programming optimization problem is formulated to maximize the penetration of renewable distributed generations via distribution network reconfiguration while ensuring the thermal line and voltage limits. Moreover, solar, wind, and load uncertainties are considered in this paper to provide a more realistic mathematical programming model for the optimization problem under study. Case studies are conducted on the 16-, 59-, 69-, 83-, 415-, and 880-node distribution networks, where the 59- and 83-node distribution networks are real distribution networks in Cairo and Taiwan, respectively. The obtained results validate the effectiveness of the proposed optimization approach in maximizing the hosting capacity of DGs and power loss reduction by greater than 17% and 74%, respectively, for the studied distribution networks.
