Power Loss Minimization For 11kv Radial Distribution System for Improved Power Quality

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Electrical Engineering

Abstract

The distribution system can be seen as the networking line that interfaces between the large power generators and transmission lines on one hand and the electricity consumers on the other. The system can exist in different topologies among which, the radial form is popular because of its simplicity and comparative low cost of design. The problem of poor power quality and instability has been a major power systems challenge especially in Nigeria. More reliable and stable power systems among other benefits can be enjoyed when system are optimized. In this research, active and reactive technical power loss was minimized by reactive power injection through placement of capacitor banks. The extent of power loss minimization was considered at different instances based on the absence and presence of capacitors at load buses. The fundamental capacitor sizing equation was deployed and result showed a minimum and maximum reactive power demand of 2100 and 28800 kVAr from 7 and 96 banks respectively. Upon application of adequate capacitor banks power loss minimization was achieved and valued between 169 kW+j3385 kVAr and 108 kW+j2165 kVAr against a default loss value of 180kW+j3593 kVAr. Obviously, from the results obtained before and after capacitor placement shows achievement of the proposed aim.
