Abstract

Transmission and distribution systems are two important components of power system which are responsible for the availability of electricity to the end users. Its performance plays a crucial role in achieving the electricity market economics. However, the losses in transmission and distribution system are high in which the distribution system loss has a major share. This is due to high value resistance to reactance ratio, high current low voltage, etc. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt is made to minimize the distribution loss to enhance the performance of distribution system. The loss reduction is achieved by employing microgrid in the network for its different penetration level. The method is tested on IEEE 33-node radial distribution system, and the results are found very encouraging.
