Abstract

Currently, power systems experience new challenges for meeting the growing rate of demand for electricity across the world. In radial distribution networks (RDNs), the R/X ratio varies gradually in respect with the demand, and consequently, their performance decreases rapidly. The distribution losses and uncertain voltage profile of these systems initiate the damage of modern compensation approaches. Integration of distributed energy resources (DER) is one of such approaches by which the passive networks become active and network performance can improve significantly. Prior to integration of DERs, it is essential to analyze the network performance under different load models. In this paper, the performance of standard RDNs is analyzed considering different voltage-dependent load modeling and compared the simulation results on IEEE 15-, 33-, 69-, and 85-bus RDNs. Also, the optimization methods used for solving the problem of optimal allocation of different types of DERs in RDNs are discussed.
