    I. INTRODUCTION

    THE technical improvements and the desire of customers

    for reliable and eco-friendly electric power have led to

    increased interest in distributed generation (DG) including re-

    newable energy sources (RES). Current energy policies of gov-

    ernments also help to promote installation and operation of this

    new type of generation through a feed-in tariff, quota system,

    carbon tax and trading, and tax relief. As a result, clean en-

    ergy technologies have become cost-competitive with conven-

    tional power systems, and in the near future, the generation cost

    of RES is expected to approach grid parity, which is the point

    at which alternative means of generating electricity produces

    power at a cost that is equal to or less than the price of pur-

    chasing power from the grid [1][4]. Nevertheless, at present

    the generation cost of RES is still more expensive than the gen-eration cost of conventional plants.Therefore, renewable energy

    projects are still suffering from financial hardship due to renew-

    able portfolio standard (RPS), which mandates that utilities and

    other load serving entities must procure a significant portion of

    their customers electricity needs from RES [5], [6]. In this sit-

    uation, the planning of renewable distributed generation (RDG)

    must be carefully considered towards achieving sustainable hy-

    brid electric power systems.

    Various methodologies to facilitate prospective investors to

    arrive at an optimal planning for investment in RDG have been

    proposed [7][16]. This research allows evaluation and com-

    parison of total costs necessary in implementing the planningof RDG, considering construction costs, interconnection costs,

    operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, and generation rev-

    enue. Recently, an increasing concern for climate change has

    focused the interest of the public towards environmental pro-

    tection, thus [10], [11], and [15] presented an planning for in-

    vestment in RDG considering carbon emission. In [12][16], the

    net present value (NPV) analysis has been used for investment

    analysis, and the planning with the highest NPV was selected.

    The purpose of this research is to find the best choice of new

    resources to be planned to maximize expected profits, from the

    perspective of independent power plant (IPP).

    On the other hand, there are many approaches for the plan-ning of RDG to minimize power loss and energy loss [17][22].

    KIMet al.: DETERMINING THE OPTIMAL CAPACITY OF RENEWABLE DISTRIBUTED GENERATION USING RESTORATION METHODS 2003

    Hung et al. [17] presented analytical expressions forfinding size

    and location of DG. In this work, the objective was power loss

    minimization. Ochoaet al.[18] proposed the technique for ac-

    commodating RDG to minimize not power losses, but energy

    losses. Atwaet al.[19] proposed a planning technique for allo-

    cating various types of DG to minimize annual energy loss. The

    positive effects of RDG in these approaches are evaluated under

    normal network conditions without any faults in a network. As

    we consider an islanding condition in which RDG can continue

    to power a location independently even though electrical grid

    power is no longer present, customers load (that would oth-

    erwise have been left disconnected until repair had been com-

    pleted) can be transferred onto another part of the system such

    as RDG [23]. Therefore, this operational condition can have a

    remarkable effect on the distribution reliability such as energy

    not supplied (ENS). Above all previous approaches, however,

    overlook this positive effect of RDG when a fault occurs in a

    network.

    Dugan et al. [24] introduced the planning process for DG

    considering the value of expected unserved energy (EUE) aswell as capacity constraints. Furthermore, [25] and [26] pro-

    posed the multi-objective optimization method for the planning

    of DG considering both ENS and energy loss. These previous

    works reflected the positive effect of DG on reliability improve-

    ment. In the event of a system failure, however, it is hard to

    evaluate availability of electrical energy supplied from RDG to

    interrupted customers. Because network configuration, priority

    in power supply from RDG to customers, and the balance be-

    tween load and generation from RDG should be considered in

    order to evaluate this availability of RDG. Therefore, in this

    paper, restoration methods (restoration matrix and restoration

    availability) are newly proposed in order to solve this complexissue.

    This paper tries to improve on earlier works by using ENS in

    combination with energy loss according to the planning of RDG

    using the proposed restoration methods from the perspective of

    independent system operator (ISO). Here, the optimal installed

    capacity and the optimal bus interconnected with RDG is deter-

    mined by this proposed method. The proposed method for the

    planning of RDG permits a better simulation.

    The remainder of this paper is organized as follows:

    Section II presents the output modeling of RDG. The proposed

    restoration matrix and restoration availability are introduced

    in Section III, and the purpose of these restoration methods is

    to evaluate the reliability of a distribution network with RDG.

    Section IV describes the methodology for determining the

    optimal installed capacity and the optimal bus interconnected

    with RDG. Section V presents numerical results of application

    of the proposed methods in a practical KEPCO system, and

    relevant observations are also addressed in this section. Finally,

    conclusions and contributions to this paper are summarized in

    Section VI.

    II. RENEWABLEDISTRIBUTEDGENERATION

    In general, DG is not centrally planned by the utility and not

    dispatched. The installed capacity of DG is normally smallerthan 20 MW, and it is usually connected to a distribution system.

    DG can be classified according to various criteria, which are the

    purpose and the operation strategy, terminal characteristics, and

    the output controllability of DG [17], [27], [28]. Based on the

    output controllability of DG, coal-based generations and energy

    storage systems (ESS) are classified into the controllable unit

    type. On the other hand, the output of photovoltaic generation

    (PV) and wind turbines (WT) is intermittent and uncontrollable

    because these sources are affected by external factors such as

    location and weather. In this paper, PV and WT are considered

    for the output model of RDG.

    A. Output of Renewable Distributed Generation

    Based on the terminal characteristics, PV is regarded as the

    unit supplying only active power to the grid, and WT is re-

    garded as the unit supplying active power and consuming re-

    active power.

    1) Only Active Power Supply: PV: Active power of PV is

    usually affected by irradiation, . The active power of PV

    in observation time can be represented as follows [29]:

    (1)

    where PV is installed in location , and it is interconnected

    with bus . In the relationship between irradiation and the output

    of PV, after a certain irradiation point, further increases in irra-

    diation produce relatively small changes in efficiency. This in-

    flection point is represented as .

    2) Active Power Supply and Reactive Power Consumption:

    WT: The output extracted by the rotor blades of a WT is the dif-

    ference between the upstream and the downstream wind powers.

    It varies with the density of the air sweeping the blades and with

    the cube of the wind speed [30]. For practical purposes, how-

    ever, active power of WT is commonly described as shown in

    (2) at the bottom of the page [31].

    WT cannot export active power when the wind speed

    is below the cut-in speed , and it is shut down for safety

    reasons if the wind speed is higher than the cut-out speed .

    The output of WT is proportional to the velocity between the

    (2)

    cut-in speed and the rated wind speed . After this rated wind

    speed, the output of WT remains constant.

    Reactive power consumption of WT is represented as

    follows:

    (3)

    where is the power factor (PF) of WT .

    B. Output Model of Renewable Distributed Generation

    The output data of RDG is analyzed by using the output pa-

    rameters of RDG and the weather conditions during observation

    period, . Based on these data, the output model of RDG in

    time can be determined by using a linear rounding method,

    and the output probability of RDG is defined by the per-unit

    value as follows [32]:

    (4)

    (5)

    where is one among 24 hours in a day.

    Finally, the output of RDG in time can be represented in

    the following equations, where RDG is installed in location

    and interconnected with bus :

    (6)

    (7)

    In here, is zero while the type of RDG is PV.

    III. RESTORATION VIA RENEWABLE

    DISTRIBUTEDGENERATION

    An islanding condition can have a remarkable effect on the

    reliability in a network with RDG. To evaluate this effect, there

    are a few issues that need to be considered including: 1) net-

    work confi

    guration; 2) priority in power supply from RDG tocustomers; 3) the balance between load and generation from

    RDG. However, when a fault occurs in a network, it is hard to

    evaluate availability of electrical energy supplied from RDG to

    interrupted customers while simultaneously considering these

    issues. Furthermore, this priority in power supply differs from

    the configuration and the fault in a network, and also this bal-

    ance between load and generation depends on the network con-

    figuration, the fault and time. In order to solve these compli-

    cated problems, restoration matrix and restoration availability

    are newly proposed in this paper. These restoration methods are

    innovative techniques for evaluating the distribution reliability

    compared to the method introduced in [5]. In this paper, these

    restoration methods are used to evaluate ENS for the optimal

    planning of RDG.

    Fig. 1. Simple distribution network with RDG.

    A. Restoration Matrix

    Let RDG be interconnected with bus and a fault occur in a

    network. Then, , called the restoration matrix, offers

    valuable structural information about priority in power supply

    from RDG to customers at bus , and it is formulated as follows:

    if RDG cannot supply power to customers

    if customers are not affected by the fault

    priority.

    (8)

    Regardless of a fault in a network, if customers at bus

    can be supplied with power from the main grid, is

    zero. Additionally, zero also has the meaning of no cus-

    tomers at bus . On the other hand, if customers at bus cannot

    be supplied with power from the main grid or RDG due to net-

    work configuration during a fault , then is .For the rest, the value of the restoration matrix indicates a nat-

    ural number as priority in power supply from RDG to customers

    at bus .

    Fig. 1 depicts a simple case in order to explain restoration

    matrix. In here, RDG is interconnected with bus 6 ,

    and customer and are located in bus 3, 5 and 7, re-

    spectively. When all 6 line faults are postulated in this network,

    restoration matrix can be determined in (9) by using definition

    (8):

    where row and column in restoration matrix are indicated by

    and , respectively.

    When a fault occurs on line 1 , RDG interconnected with

    bus 6 should consider to be a top priority (denoted by 1)

    in order to supply electricity. is second on the priority list

    (denoted by 2), followed by (denoted by 3) in this case

    . Additionally, when a fault

    occurs on line 3 can be supplied with power from the

    main grid (denoted by 0), regardless of the output of RDG as

    well as the fault on line 3. , on the other hand, cannot be

    supplied with power from the main grid or RDG (denoted by

    ) due to this network configuration in Fig. 1

    .

    B. Restoration Availability

    Using the restoration matrix, priority in the power supply is

    determined according to the faults in a network and buses in-

    terconnected with RDG. However, when a customer has the

    highest priority from power supply, it does not automatically

    mean the customer will be supplied with power during a fault in

    a network. This is because the balance between load and gener-

    ation is the basic rule of all power systems for a stable energy

    supply. Therefore, in order to evaluate availability of electrical

    energy supplied from RDG to interrupted customers, not only

    electricity supply priorities by restoration matrix, but the rela-tionship between load and generations in time is required.

    In this respect, restoration availability is proposed in addition to

    restoration matrix.

    , called restoration availability, offers valuable

    information about whether this power system maintains the bal-

    ance between customers load at bus and the output of RDG

    in time when a fault occurs in a network. Here, the output

    of RDG can be affected by the location for RDG installation,

    because weather conditions differ from location .

    In a network with a single RDG, restoration availability is

    determined as follows:

    (10)

    (11)

    (12)

    (13)

    (14)

    0 means restoration via RDG is not available. 1, on the

    contrary, means restoration via RDG is available. Here, ct is a

    customer type such as public, commercial, industrial and resi-

    dential. is the set of bus with customers whose electrical

    load should be supplied from RDG during a fault . Active

    load at bus in time is , which is evaluated by using

    the load pattern of each customer type and

    the peak load of each customer type at bus . Here,

    is expressed as the per-unit value based on peak

    load of each customer type. As shown in (12), basically, restora-

    tion availability of RDG is determined by the balance between

    customers load and the output of RDG in time . Here, U is

    the unit function.

    Based on (10)(14), when various RDG are installed in a net-

    work, restoration availability is determined as follows:

    (15)

    where is the set of RDG . and are the set of installed

    locations for RDG and the set of interconnection bus for

    RDG, respectively.

    Restoration methods proposed in this paper are applied to

    evaluate the sum of cost-saving of ENS according to installed

    capacity and the bus interconnected with RDG in Section IV.

    IV. PROBLEMFORMULATION

    In this section, the method for determining the optimal in-

    stalled capacity and interconnected bus with RDG is proposed.

    In here, there are two different objectives. The first objective

    is to minimize ENS when a fault occurs in a network (under

    abnormal network conditions), and the second one is to mini-

    mize energy loss without any fault (under normal network con-

    ditions). In this paper, these two objectives combined into a

    multi-objective optimization problem in order to evaluate all ef-

    fects of RDG installation. The purpose of this multi-objective

    optimization problem is to maximize the sum of cost-saving of

    ENS and cost-saving of energy loss, according to installed ca-

    pacity and the bus interconnected with RDG.

    The multi-objective function in this paper can be formulated

    as follows:

    (16)

    (17)

    (18)

    where is t he sum o f cost o f ENS and cost o f energy

    loss , before new RDG is installed in a network (denoted

    by Base Case). and are ENS cost and energy

    loss cost after RDG is installed in a network, respectively. The

    values of and are evaluated by considering all

    possible factors, which are all feasible RDG (in the set ),

    permitted locations (in the set ) and interconnectable buses

    (in the set ).The remainder of this section is composed of four parts. The

    first and second part represent the way to evaluate

    using the proposed restoration methods and ac-

    cording to the planning of RDG, respectively. The third part

    describes constraints for this multi-objective optimization,

    and the last part depicts the flow chart of the proposed plan-

    ning technique.

    A. Cost of Energy Not Supplied:

    Customers are composed of various types, and customer in-

    terruption costs (CIC [$/kWh]) are different in each customer

    type and repair time. In this paper, CIC of customers at bus is

    evaluated by using CIC of each customer type and

    As a result, energy loss costs in the multi-objective optimiza-

    tion problem are determined as follows:

    (28)

    where is the net price for electricity, and this equation

    indicates the sum of energy loss cost for one year because ENS

    is generally evaluated on a yearly basis.

    C. Constraints

    The multi-objective optimization problem should be mini-

    mized subject to certain equality and inequality constraints.

    (30)

    In these separating the active and reactive parts, and

    are the amplitude and angle of branch admittance between bus

    and bus [35].

    Inequality constraints relate to keeping the magnitude of cur-

    rents at all lines and the magnitude of voltages at all buses within

    the permissible limits.

    Limits on line current magnitude

    (31)

    Limits on bus voltage magnitude

    Limits on RDG capacity of a distribution network

    where is maximum-allowable capacity of RDG in

    bus . For example, according to the South Korean grid code,

    maximum-allowable capacity of RDG was restricted to 20 MW

    in a distribution network. is maximum-allowableRDG capacity in a distribution network.

    D. Flow Chart

    The process for determining the optimal capacity of RDG is

    described as shown in Fig. 2.

    V. CASESTUDY

    In order to demonstrate the validity of the solution sets

    obtained by the proposed methods, a 154/22.9-kV distribution

    system is adopted as a case system, and this case system is a

    practical KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) system

    in the area of Icheon and Jangheung in South Korea.It is assumed that PV and WT, shown in Fig. 3, are installed

    in the adjacent area of this case system. According to the South

    Korean grid code for interconnection of RDG in a distribution

    network, maximum-allowable capacity of RDG in each inter-

    connection bus is as shown in Table I.

    Base Case shows the original network prior to the installation

    of RDG such as PV and WT. In Case 1, one of PV and WT is

    installed in the case system, and in Case 2, both of them are

    installed simultaneously. All system data and grid constraints

    are applied with KEPCO.

    Weather is still very stochastic and prone to uncertainty in

    terms of forecasts, even if various research studies have been

    performed [33], [36]. In this paper, the output of RDG at time

    is evaluated by using historical measurement data. The time-

    data have been acquired by KMA (Korea Meteorological Ad-

    ministration) during 2010, and depicted in Fig. 9 (Appendix).

    In this case study, an islanding operation of RDG is allowed

    in order to maximize the benefits from RDG, because this oper-

    ation mode can improve the distribution reliability.

    The failure of lines, buses and transformers can be included

    in a contingency list. In this paper, the failure of all lines is pos-tulated for contingency, and it is assumed that these lines have a

    failure rateof 0.1 f/kmyr.Repair timein the mainfeeder ( )

    is 4 hours, and repair time in the lateral distributors ( ) is

    1 hour.

    customer type and interruption time. CIC of each customer type,

    shown in Table II, is bifurcated into 1 hour and 4 hours as inter-

    ruption time [37][40].

    All customer load patterns in this case study are based on the

    investigation from 2003 to 2007 in South Korea. Customers

    peak load and load patterns are shown in Table III and Fig. 10,

    respectively. Using these data, and (13) and (14), hourly power

    demand of each customer is postulated.

    Energy loss is evaluated by the relation between customers

    load and the output of RDG in time as well as the grid data

    in the case system.

    Unit installed capacity of RDG is 1 kW for implementation

    of iterative technique, and the results in this case study are sim-

    ulated and evaluated by Matlab 7.0.4. All computer programs

    were run on a Windows 7-based PC (Intel Core i7 Q740 pro-

    cessor and 12 GB RAM).

    A. Analysis on Cost of ENS

    In Base Case where there are no RDG in the case system, cost

    of ENS in each customer is evaluated as shown in Table IV.

    TABLE IVBASE CASE: COST OFENS

    TABLE V

    CASE 1: THEPLANNING OFRDG TO REDUCECOST OFENS

    TABLE VICASE 2: THEPLANNING OFRDG TO REDUCECOST OFENS

    In order to evaluate ENS when RDG is installed and inter-

    connected to the case system, restoration matrix according to

    interconnected bus with RDG should be determined first. Fig. 8

    shows restoration matrix in this case study, which is the part of

    Matlab source code.

    In Case 1 where one of PV and WT is installed, lower cost

    of ENS compared to the results in Base Case are analyzed as

    shown in Table V.

    These results in Table V show that RDG installation doesnot always improve ENS. All buses interconnected with RDG

    but bus 2, 4 and 6 appear to have no effect on ENS, because

    ENS is affected by structural characteristics of a network (de-

    fined as restoration matrix) and the balance between customers

    load and the output of RDG in time (defined as restoration

    availability).

    In case of only PV installation, the most effective way to im-

    prove ENS is to install PV with 2974 kW (interconnection bus

    . In case of only WT installation, the most effective way

    to improve ENS is to install WT with 2824 kW (interconnection

    bus ).

    RDG is generally interconnected to the nearest bus for gener-ation expansion planning. In this case system, bus 4 for PV and

    bus 3 for WT are the nearest buses. However, when PV is in-

    terconnected to bus 6, this planning can reduce the cost of ENS

    more than 1.8% compared to the conventional planning where

    PV is interconnected to bus 4. Furthermore, to interconnect WT

    with the nearest bus 3 has no effect on ENS.

    In Case 2 where both of PV and WT are installed, various

    plans with two RDG can reduce costs of ENS compared to the

    results in Base Case. Table VI shows the top 3 plans among all

    feasible plans in Case 2.

    Although both of PV and WT are installed simultaneously in

    Case 2, all plans are not always able to generate cost-savings

    for ENS. Therefore, it is important to determine which bus we

    choose to interconnect, as well as the installed RDG capacity.

    TABLE VIIICASE 1: THEPLANNING OFRDG TO REDUCE ENERGY LOSS

    Considering all cases, the top 8 plans of RDG are arranged in

    order of improved cost-saving of ENS as shown in Table VII.

    With respect to improved cost-savings of ENS due to the

    planning of RDG, the most effective way is to install PV with2974 kW (interconnection bus ) and WT with 2824 kW

    (interconnection bus ) simultaneously. Here, costs of ENS

    can be reduced by 4.39% compared to the results in Base Case,

    where there is no RDG in the case system. Additionally, this

    proposed planning can reduce the cost of ENS more than 2.8%

    compared to the conventional planning where RDG is intercon-

    nected to the nearest bus in a network.

    B. Analysis on Energy Loss Cost

    In Base Case, energy loss and energy loss cost are evalu-

    ated as 7830.6889 MWh and $783 068.9, respectively, by power

    flow.In Case 1, Table VIII shows the optimal capacity of RDG

    according to each bus , from a viewpoint of energy loss.

    In Table VIII, bus 1 for RDG interconnection does not influ-

    ence energy loss at all, because bus 1 is the secondary part of

    the main grid.

    From the results in Base Case and Table VIII, energy loss and

    cost-saving of energy loss in Case 1, can be depicted in Figs. 4

    and 5.

    With respect to improved cost-saving of energy loss due to

    the planning of RDG, the most effective way is to interconnect

    RDG with bus 5. Here, two factors lead to this result. At first,

    the electrical distance between and themain grid is relatively

    far. Secondly, customers load in is the largest in this case

    system as shown in Table III. When PV is interconnected with

    Fig. 4. Case 1(PV): energy loss and cost-saving of energy loss.

    Fig. 5. Case 1(WT): energy loss and cost-saving of energy loss.

    bus 5, this planning can reduce energy loss more than 1.5% com-

    pared to the conventional planning where PV is interconnected

    with the nearest bus 4. Additionally, when WT is interconnected

    with bus 5, this planning also can reduce energy loss more than

    8.8% compared to the conventional planning where WT is in-

    terconnected with the nearest bus 3. Therefore, the planning of

    RDG which is interconnected with bus 5, is most effective to

    improve energy loss.

    In Case 2, Table IX shows the optimal capacity of RDG and

    interconnection bus , from a viewpoint of energy loss.

    Considering all Cases, the top 10 plans of RDG are arranged

    in order of improved cost-saving of energy loss as shown in

    Table X.

    With respect to improved cost-saving of energy loss due to

    the planning of RDG, the most effective way is to install PV

    with 3000 kW (interconnection bus ) and WT with 3000

    kW (interconnection bus ) simultaneously. Here, cost of

    energy loss can be reduced by 40.7% compared to the results in

    Base Case, where there is no RDG in the case system.

    C. Optimal Planning of RDG

    The results in Case 1 are depicted in Figs. 6 and 7. As consid-

    ering only cost-saving of energy loss, the most effective way is

    to interconnect RDG with bus 5. However, this approach over-

    looks the effects of RDG when a fault occurs in a network.

    Therefore, the optimal planning of RDG proposed in this paper

    is determined by considering both sides of ENS and energy loss.

    As a result, the optimal planning of PV in Case 1 is to install PV

    with 3000 kW, and to interconnect PV with bus 6. On the other

    hand, the optimal planning of WT in Case1 is to install WT with

    3000 kW, and to interconnect WT with bus 4. By the proposed

    Fig. 7. Case 1(WT): total improved cost-savings.

    TABLE XIPROPOSED TOP10 PLANS OFRDG

    method in this paper, the planning of PV can reduce annual cost

    of ENS and energy loss, $487 074.9, and the planning of WT

    can reduce them, $338 675.6.

    Finally, the top 10 plans of RDG are arranged in order of total

    improved cost-savings as shown in Table XI.

    The optimal planning of RDG in this case system is to install

    PV with 3000 kW (interconnection bus ) and WT with

    3000 kW (interconnection bus ) simultaneously. Further-

    more, from this optimal planning, costs of ENS can be reduced

    by 4.39% and energy loss costs can be reduced by 39.12% com-pared to without RDG in this case system. This optimal planning

    of RDG is expected to achieve significant annual cost-savings of

    $694 602. From the ISOs viewpoint, it is the maximum benefit

    via RDG, considering under normal (energy loss) and abnormal

    conditions (ENS) using the proposed restoration methods.

    VI. CONCLUSION

    In this paper, a methodology to determine the optimal bus

    interconnected with RDG, as well as the optimal installed ca-

    pacity of RDG is proposed. Both of the ENS and energy loss

    are considered to solve this multi-objective problem. In here,

    restoration methods are also proposed to evaluate the effect on

    ENS according to the planning of RDG.

    In order to verify the proposed methods, data sets from real

    power systems in Icheon and Jangheung, South Korea are ap-

    plied to the case study. The results in the case study confirm that

    the proposed methods are more suitable to determine the op-

    timal planning of RDG compared to the conventional methods,

    because cost-savings of ENS under abnormal conditions as well

    as cost-savings of energy loss under normal conditions due to

    RDG installation are evaluated simultaneously.

    The planning of RDG in this paper is approached from a

    viewpoint of ISO, and this paper is innovative and fundamental

    towards sustainability and increasing the economic attractive-

    ness of RDG. In this sense, it can provide valuable insights to

    stakeholders in governments and companies.

    In this paper, the proposed restoration methods are only due

    to vicinity to RDG. In our future work, as considering the other

    factors in addition to vicinity, further developed methods will be

    proposed to improve its economic impacts and effectiveness.
