Status of all branches of distribution networks in chronological order using distributed generation at optimal position

Abstract

This paper presents status of all branches of radial distribution networks in chronological order using distributed generation at optimal position by considering the concept of reactive loading index technique. Although under different situations for all the branches the identified weakest branch remains same up to some specified conditions but the corresponding loading at different branches in chronological order has been categorically identified. The effectiveness of the proposed idea has been successfully tested on 12.66 kV radial distribution systems consisting of 33 nodes and the results are found to be in very good agreement.
