Modeling and Simulation of Distribution Network with the Integration of Distribution Generator using Matlab

Abstract

Background: Due to increasing power demand across the country, the usage of renewable systems is being increased. One such efficient and compactly available renewable energy is solar power. In this paper, a clear view of harnessing maximum DC solar power output and converting it to AC is discussed. Methods: A method of grid interconnection of solar powered inverter is presented with IEEE-15 bus system as an example model using Matlab simulation. Findings: A detailed analysis of bus voltage, load current and line current is made with the simulated model. Applications/Improvements: The data obtained could be used for fine optimization of the position in which the distribution generator interconnection is to be made. Keywords: IEEE-15, Grid Interconnection, Solar Power
