Abstract

Electricity consumption is rapidly increasing in all the sectors around the world. The most viable solution to the exponential demand of electricity is to encourage the widespread employment of distributed generation (DG) integrating it with a utility distribution system. Numerous advantages of the integrating of DG incorporate system are energy loss reduction, voltage profile augmentation and reliability improvement. In this study, a standard IEEE-14 bus hybrid distribution system has been taken.. The proposed system consists of balanced and unbalanced loads connected to different buses, energy storage system, a solid state transformer based MG, line impedances and it offers the description of necessary data. The model has been analyzed for maximum and minimum demand scenarios and power flow results are discussed for both the cases. The solid state transformer based MG has been proposed and integrated with the existing distribution system and has been analyzed. The thorough analysis of the system provides the potential problems raised and their possible solutions. The proposed system is implemented in MATLAB/simulink environment.
