“…A solution to address voltage drop along the distribution line for utilities is to use devices such as an automatic voltage regulator [6] and a high-voltage capacitor [7] or to use load management methodologies [8] to temporarily regulate the voltage level within the standard value. In the long term, the system may require the installation of a new substation along the distribution line with voltage issues or the expansion of the substation located at both ends of the distribution line to support load expansion.…”

A major challenge in distribution systems is the issue of voltage drop along the distribution line resulting from an increased load capacity connected to the utility. A significant voltage drop can affect the performance of a distribution system and cause quality issues for end users, impacting the system’s long-term sustainability and reliability. Therefore, regulations have been set stating that the voltage level should not be more that 5% higher or lower than the rated voltage. Thus, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the voltage level characteristics of a 22 kV distribution system that replicates the actual distribution system in the Provincial Electricity Authority. A voltage improvement technique based on distributed generation placement was proposed. In addition, the distribution system characteristics with and without distributed generation placement were evaluated under fault conditions. The results indicate that distributed generation placement in the distribution system can improve the voltage level along the distribution line. However, the level of increase in voltage depends on the size of the load, the capacity of the distributed generation, and the location of the distributed generation system on the distribution line. Furthermore, placing a distributed generation system with a minimum capacity at the proposed location can improve the voltage within the utility’s standard level. Thus, the installation of a distributed generation system in the distribution system is beneficial in terms of voltage improvement in the distribution system and provides the power system with a sustainable method to address the issue of voltage drop.

The approach proposed for the development of this research work was based on the integration of Distributed Energy Generation (DG) into an energy distribution network, improving the voltage profile by establishing an optimal location and sizing of DG power plants, for which the use of a heuristic optimization method known as Genetic Algorithm (GA), which has several restrictions to limit its operation and thus achieve an optimal solution to the planned optimization problem, was resorted to. The development of a power flow allowed having the voltage measurement in the bars of the network before incorporating DG, allowing to verify that the voltage fluctuations present an improvement after the incorporation one by one of each DG central defined by the GA. The systems in which the voltage measurement was performed, as well as the verification of its fluctuations with and without DG once the GA was used, were the IEEE systems of 9 and 14 busbars, the latter the one used to demonstrate the scalability of the GA to locate and dimension DG without considering the number of busbars in a system.
