Abstract

The use of non-linear loads and the integration of renewable energy in electricity network can cause power quality problems, especially harmonic distortion. It is a challenge in the operation and design of the radial distribution system. This can happen because harmonics that exceed the limit can cause interference to equipment and systems. This study will discuss the determination of the optimal location and capacity of distributed generation (DG) and network reconfiguration in the radial distribution system to improve the quality of electric power, especially the suppression of harmonic distribution. This study combines the optimal location and capacity of DG and network reconfiguration using the particle swarm optimization method. In addition, this research method is implemented in the distribution system of Bandar Lampung City by considering the effect of using nonlinear loads to improve power quality, especially harmonic distortion. The inverter-based DG type used considers the value of harmonic source when placed. The combination of the proposed methods provides an optimal solution. Increased efficiency in reducing power losses up to 81.17% and %total harmonic distortion voltage (THDv) is below the allowable limit.

Abstract

Frequency regulation and active power loss management are crucial aspects of power system operations. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as an innovative solution to enhance grid performance, especially in addressing frequency fluctuations and reducing power losses. This study explores the role of BESS in optimizing frequency regulation and managing active power losses in the power system through several BESS integration scenarios. In this study, a BESS with a capacity of 8.437 MW was used and analyzed using symmetric steady-state simulations in DigSILENT PowerFactory software. The simulations aim to test the effectiveness of BESS in frequency regulation and minimizing active power losses in the Southern Sulawesi (Sulbagsel) system. The analysis results show that implementing BESS can respond effectively to both over-frequency and under-frequency conditions in the Sulbagsel system. In the discharge scenario, BESS can reduce the system's average frequency by 0.02 Hz and decrease active power losses by up to 1.09 MW. Conversely, in the charge scenario, active power losses increase by 1.22 MW when the BESS is installed on Tonasa Bus. This study provides valuable insights for developing BESS-based frequency regulation strategies that contribute to the stability and efficiency of the power system.
