Study about the methods to reduce power loss and improve voltage profile has been carried for many years. Nowadays, the interest in distributed generation around the world is sharply increasing. DGs are predicted to be a major component of future power system with all the benefits that come with them. If placed properly, they will improve the system in various ways, and of course, reduce power loss and voltage drop. So, it becomes essential to place them in such a way that all parties associated with them will be benefited. In this study, the author would like to present the methodology to improve the utility grid in term of power loss and voltage drop. The method will find out the optimal DG and capacitor banks in distribution system. There are two parts in this study. The first one finds the optimal DG size and the location to minimize real power loss in the system. Different DG types, namely DG supplying real or reactive power only, DG supplying real power but consuming proportionate reactive power, are considered to solve the optimal DG placement problem. In the second part, the capacitor banks are optimally placed. The methodology will be carried out with the primary feeders of one substation in Ha Noi Power Company. These feeders are modeled as 40 bus system and 62 bus systems. iv List of abbreviations CAPO – Optimal Capacitor placement DG – Distributed Generation EVN – Electricity of Viet Nam E2 – Long Bien distribution substation HPC – Ha Noi Power Company kWh – kilowatt hour kW – kilowatt kV, V – kilovolt, volt kVAr – kilovar kVA – kilovolt ampe km – kilometer MW – megawatt PSS/ADEPT – Power System Simulator – Advance Distribution Engineering Productivity Tool pf – power factor pu – per unit v Tables of Contents Chapter Title Page Title i Acknowledgements ii Abstract iii List of abbreviations iv Tables of Contents v List of tables ix 1.

Introduction 1.1 Background Electric power distribution system engineering has been designed to deal with problems related to the rapidly expanding distribution system, load management and reduction of distribution loss. Voltage drop and power loss are major concerns for utilities as they limit the load ability of feeders and reduce revenue. All utility have found and applied the optimal method to improve voltage drop and power loss. Traditionally, there are many options available for reducing loss and voltage drops such as network reconfiguration, load balancing, introduction of higher voltage level, reconductoring, and capacitor installation. Among them, capacitor placement is one of most economical options for loss reduction, especially in distribution systems of developing countries. Recently, the application of small generators, called Distributed Generation (DG) has been considered to address the issue of loss reduction in distribution system. DGs have some advantages to replace capacitor banks in order to improve voltage profile and power loss. DGs can supply both real and reactive power. DGs can also keep the voltage at some buses in stable by adjusting reactive power smoothly and automatically. However, DGs also have some disadvantages such as coordination protection, high initial cost… This would be lead to a question that which option would be the best among all the alternatives available? Distributed Generation (DG) includes the application of small generators, typically ranging in capacity from few kW to as high as 10,000 kW, scattered throughout a power system, to provide the electric power needed by electrical customers[1]. Distributed Generation (DG) uses small-scale power generation technologies to generate electricity in close proximity to its utilization point. DG technology portfolios typically include small or micro hydro power plants, wind turbines, photovoltaic, fuel cells, reciprocating engines, combustion gas turbines and micro turbines. This study presents the methodology to find the best solution for improving voltage drops and power loss in distribution system. The first part presents a method using MATLAB software to develop a program that finds optimal DG sizes and the locations to take part in the distribution networks in order to improve voltage profile and minimize loss. The second part uses PSS/ADEPT software to find the optimal capacitor banks placement . voltage drops of the existing main primary distribution system of HPC. 2.
