| Abstract | |
This thesis aims at presenting a new model to optimize the installation of Distributed Generation (DG) in electric power distribution networks. The model is based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming. Although this operational research tool is limited for application in network, of real size, the methodology is shown to be effective to simulate existing networks by considering a network reduction technique. The model also takes into account specific issues related to the Brazilian Electricity Market and its regulatory procedures. Such issues are incorporated into the modelling through specific technical constraints and objective function formulation. This function comprises the distribution company incomes, negotiations in the spot market and by bilateral contracts, fixed costs related to new DG units, new substations and new feeders, as well as the cost of power losses. Two factors in the problem formulation allow for modelling restrictions related to the legislation, namely the DG factor (fGD) and the spot market factor (fspot), that limit the amount of DG and negotiations in the spot market, respectively. Load and DG dispatch uncertainties are dealt with fuzzy sets. (AU) | |
