| Abstract | Distributed Generations (DGs) are widely used to significantly satisfy the increasing demand of energy consumption. When connected in a small number of small-size DG units, the impacts of the DG on the power system can be neglected. Nevertheless, when the penetration of DG is higher, there is a concern on uncertain issue. This thesis investigates the probabilistic load flow study with DG connected in IEEE 69-bus test system and the PEA grid. The uncertainty in power output generation of DG is resulting to voltage violation in the power system. Moreover, this thesis also aims to minimize power outage due to voltage violation. These technical aspects are applies with capacitor placement to reduce load shedding due to voltage violation. Furthermore, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used for optimal capacitor placement in the system. The test system is 69-bus test system and PEA distribution system in area has PV connected into power distribution system indicate that probabilistic load flow is suitable power flow when DG connected into the power distribution system. |
