Synopsis

In the present era, every developmental work including industrialization depends on the availability of energy. Energy security has become the greatest concern all over the world. Electrical energy takes higher place than other form of energy in the energy hierarchy. World energy consumption is increasing by 2% per year. The demand of electrical energy is rising more rapidly in developing countries [12]. Large numbers of developing countries are going through energy crisis. It is because, in developing economies, the availability of supply is less than the load demand and around 15-20% of the total generated power is lost between sending and receiving end due to transmission and distribution losses. The energy loss occurring during transmission can help to reduce the energy deficiency to some extent by suitable check. It has been found that 70% of the total losses occur at the distribution end due to its low X/R ratio and low voltage operation. So, power cut and load shedding is the only option left, which is highly undesirable. In order to deal with this gigantic problem, several techniques have been developed for minimizing the distribution losses such as feeder reconfiguration, feeder reinforcement, conductor grading, construction of new substation, reactive power compensation, utilization of Distributed Generation (DG) etc [61]. Out of all these techniques, this report is based on the research work done in the context of DG. As DG could prove advantageous only when it is placed at an appropriate location, so in this thesis, an investigation is made to find out the optimal location for DG in a bus system, and the subsequent impact of DG insertion on the overall losses of the bus system. In order to carry out load flow calculations, Newton Raphson’s method is used.
