Abstract (EN):
Uncontrolled operation of distributed generation (DG) can cause interference with the operation of other equipment such as tap-changers, and non-optimal use of their capability. Thus, having an appropriate scheduling and control on DGs is a crucial issue for distribution system operators. In this paper, a linear multi-objective model for power distribution system scheduling that coordinates tap-changers, photovoltaics (PVs) and battery energy storage operation is proposed. Accordingly, tap-changers experience lower stress, batteries' state of charge is kept in suitable range and DGs are used more effectively. The objective functions of the proposed model encompass improving voltage profile, minimizing losses and peak load. Epsilon-constraint method is employed for solving the multi-objective problem, generating the Pareto set. A new decision-making method is proposed to select the preferred solution from the Pareto set. The 33-bus IEEE test system is used to test the performance of the model. Conclusions are duly drawn.
