Abstract: In this paper loss sensitivity factor method is used to identify the optimal placement of DG units in power
distribution system. Simulations are conducted on 73-bus Port Harcourt 33 kV Power distribution system modelled in
Electrical Transient Analyzer program (ETAP 12.6) software using Newton Raphson (N-R) load flow method. The results
obtained showed that 35 load buses are outside the statutory voltage constraint limit (0. 95p.u – 1. 05p.u) that is 31.35KV-
34.65KV. Gas turbine synchronous generators (DGs) of 25MW are placed at the optimal position of the candidate buses
identified by sensitivity analysis. To verify the efficacy of the proposed method, load flow analysis was repeated for the
test system. The result obtained after DG placement reveals improvement in voltage profile and loss reduction.
Keywords: Distribution system, Loss sensitivity factor, Distributed Generation, load flow, Newton Raphson, ETAP.
1. INTRODUCTION
Loss sensitivity factor is the key method for the optimal DG placement in distribution system. It provides the sequence in
which the candidate buses are to be considered for DG placement.
Distributed generation (DG) is a new trend that can be used to improve availability of power and reliability of the power
network. Currently, there is no unified definition of distributed generation which is also known as embedded generation
or dispersed generation or decentralised generation. In this paper, distributed generation (DG) implies the use of small,
modular, decentralized, off- grid or grid connected generators spotted throughout a power system network, providing the
electricity locally to load customers (Thomas et al., 2001). The recent literatures relating to optimal placement of DG using
sensitivity analysis are:
Graham et al. (2000) applied loss sensitivity factor method (LSF) based on the principle of linearization of the original
nonlinear equation (loss equation) around the initial operating point, which helps to reduce the amount of solution space.
Optimal placement of DG units is determined exclusively for the various distributed load profiles to minimize the total
losses. They iteratively increased the size of DG unit at all buses and then calculated the losses; based on loss calculation
they ranked the nodes. Top ranked nodes are selected for DG unit placement
Kanth et al. (2013) implemented sensitivity analysis and PSO on standard IEEE 15 bus test system for determining the
location and size of DG in the distribution networks in order to reduce the real power losses of the system. To include the
presence of harmonics, PSO was integrated with a harmonic power flow algorithm (HPF).
Nalini et al. (2014) presented a heuristic optimization technique named particle swarm optimization (PSO) as a working
tool to minimize simultaneously the economic cost of overall system by changing sitting and varying sizes of DGs. With
respect to voltage profile THD and loss reduction by using the sensitivity analysis.
Lakshyabhat et al. (2015) presented sensitivity analysis for 14 bus systems in a distribution network with distributed
generators. An analysis is carried out by selecting the most optimum location in placing the Distributed Generators
through load flow analysis and seeing where the voltage profile rises. Matlab programming is used for simulation of
voltage profile in the respective buses after introduction of DG’s. A tolerance limit of +/-5% of the base value has to be
maintained. To maintain the tolerance limit, 3 methods are used. Sensitivity analysis of 3 methods for voltage control is
carried out to determine the priority among the methods.
Singh et al. (2015) tested various indices and using effective techniques for the optimal placement and sizing of the DG unit
by minimizing power losses and voltage deviation. They applied two sensitivity-based methods namely loss sensitivity
analysis and voltage sensitivity analysis on 33- bus radial distribution system.

Divya et al. (2016) used sensitivity analysis to determine the location of DG and particle swarm optimization to determine
the size of DG to minimize the power losses in the distribution network. The result, so obtained show the improvement of
voltage profile, reduction of real power loss using MATLAB.
Kumar et al. (2018) presented loss sensitivity factor method to identify optimal placement of DGs to minimize the power
losses and to improve voltage profile and reliability in distribution system. Methodology is applied to IEEE 33-bus Radial
Distribution System and the obtained results are compared.
Suresh et al. (2018) proposed dragonfly algorithm to determine the optimal DG placement for benefit maximization in
distribution networks and also compared with loss sensitivity factors for 33-bus system.
Newton Raphson Load flow programs compute the voltage magnitudes and phase angles at each bus of the network under
steady state operating conditions. These programs also compute real and reactive power in each of the line and power
losses for all equipment, including transformers and distribution lines; thus overloaded transformers and distribution
lines are identified and remedial measures can be implemented. The software used for the analysis is ETAP 12.6 is a fully
graphical Electrical Transient Analyzer Program that provides a very high level of reliability, protection and security of
critical applications. Among ETAP’s most powerful features are the composite network and motor element. Composite
elements allow you to graphically nest network elements within themselves to an arbitrary depth. For example, a
composite network can contain other composite networks, providing the capability to construct complex electrical
networks while still maintaining a clean, uncluttered diagram that you want to emphasize. ETAP provides five levels of
error checking. The active error viewer appears when you attempt to run a study with missing or inappropriate data.

3 METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted are:
i. Modelling of 73 bus network of 33kV Port-Harcourt power Distribution Network using Electrical Transient
Analyzer Program (ETAP 12.6) software for load flow analysis.
ii. Steady state assessment of the network through load flow Analysis using Newton-Raphson (N-R) method.
iii. Loss sensitivity factor method.
Newton Raphson load flow will be simulated in ETAP software. This will be used to come up with the candidate buses for
DG placement using loss sensitivity factor method.
3.1 COMPUTATIONAL PROCEDURE FOR NEWTON-RAPHSON METHOD
The computational procedure for Newton-Raphson method using polar coordinate is as follows:
1. Form Ybus.
2. Assume initial values of bus voltages / Vi /0 and phase angles °i for i = 2, 3, … n for load buses and phase angles for
PV buses. Normally we set the assumed bus voltage magnitude and its phase angle equal to slack bus quantities /
V1 / = 1.0, = 0o.
3. Compute Pi and Qi for each load bus from the following equations:
Pi = 
n
ik
Vi Vk Yik cos ( … ………………….. (3.1.1)
Qi = 
n
ik
ViVk Yik sin ( …………………………(3.1.2)
4. Compute the scheduled error and Qi for each load bus from the following relations.

For PV buses, the exact value of Qi is not specified, but its limits are known. If the calculated value of Qi is beyond the
limits, then an appropriate limit is imposed and Qi is also calculated by subtracting the calculated value of Qi from the
appropriate limit. The bus under consideration is now treated as a load (PQ) bus.
5. Compute the elements of the Jacobian matrix
Using the estimated I Vi I and from step 2

3.2 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION
Loss sensitivity factor method (LSF) is applied to Port Harcourt power distribution network to determine the candidate
buses for optimal DG placement and the sequence in which buses are to be considered for DG placement. The loss
sensitivity factors reduce the search space by finding the few best locations which saves the cost of the DGs in optimizing
the losses in the distribution system as a whole.

Figure 3.2. A distribution line with connected load
Considering a distribution link shown in figure 3.2. The link represents a distribution line connecting two buses, and j of
Port Harcourt distribution system. The magnitude of the two bus voltages, vi and vj are known by load flow study. The real
and reactive power losses in each of the line and power flow are obtained by load flow studies.
The real power loss in distribution line can be expressed as
(3.1.8)
(3.85)
Similarly, reactive power loss in the distribution line can be expressed as
(3.1.9)
LSF value can be expressed by derivative of the equations (3.1.8)
(3.1.10)
(3.1.11)
Loss sensitivity for all the candidate buses will be calculated using equation (3.1.11).
Few topmost load ranked buses will be selected for optimal DG placement in the test system. Synchronous generator
based DGs will be placed on this bus and the load flow analysis repeated on the entire system to determine the voltage
profile and the system losses.

5. DISCUSSION
After performing the load flow analysis of the 73-bus test distribution system under review using ETAP12.6 software, an
alert summary report was generated which shows 35 candidate load bus are outside the statutory voltage constraint limit
(0. 95p.u – 1. 05p.u) that is 31.35KV- 34.65KV.
Loss sensitivity factor was performed on all the candidate buses. The findings on the obtained ranking demonstrate that
few topmost load buses were appropriate for the placement of DGs as shown in fig.4.1. The candidate buses identified are:
BUS 31, BUS37, BUS42, BUS53, BUS57, BUS58, BUS59, BUS67, BUS 69. Distributed generation units of 25MW gas turbine
synchronous generator (DG1-9 units) were placed at these buses and load flow simulation repeated. The results are showed
in table 4.2 with improvement in voltage profile and reduction of power losses in the distribution lines.
6. CONCLUSION
The loss sensitivity factor method is useful in reducing the search space for optimal DG placement and particle swarm
optimization. One consideration in determining the best placement for DG is its effect on losses and voltage profile. When
the DGs were optimally placed at the candidate buses identified by loss sensitivity factor, there was an acceptable
improvement in the entire distribution network in terms of loss minimization and voltage profile enhancement.
Distributed generation (DG) is a new trend that can be used to improve availability of power and reliability of the power
network.

Simulations are conducted on 73-bus Port Harcourt 33 kV Power distribution system modelled in Electrical Transient Analyzer program (ETAP 12.6) software using Newton Raphson (N-R) load flow method. The results obtained showed that 35 load buses are outside the statutory voltage constraint limit (0. 95p.u – 1. 05p.u) that is 31.35KV- 34.65KV. Gas turbine synchronous generators (DGs) of 25MW are placed at the optimal position of the candidate buses identified by sensitivity analysis. To verify the efficacy of the proposed method, load flow analysis was repeated for the test system. The result obtained after DG placement reveals improvement in voltage profile and loss reduction. Keywords: Distribution system, Loss sensitivity factor, Distributed Generation, load flow, Newton Raphson, ETAP. 1. INTRODUCTION Loss sensitivity factor is the key method for the optimal DG placement in distribution system. It provides the sequence in which the candidate buses are to be considered for DG placement. Distributed generation (DG) is a new trend that can be used to improve availability of power and reliability of the power network. Currently, there is no unified definition of distributed generation which is also known as embedded generation or dispersed generation or decentralised generation. In this paper, distributed generation (DG) implies the use of small, modular, decentralized, off- grid or grid connected generators spotted throughout a power system network, providing the electricity locally to load customers (Thomas et al., 2001). The recent literatures relating to optimal placement of DG using sensitivity analysis are: Graham et al. (2000) applied loss sensitivity factor method (LSF) based on the principle of linearization of the original nonlinear equation (loss equation) around the initial operating point, which helps to reduce the amount of solution space. Optimal placement of DG units is determined exclusively for the various distributed load profiles to minimize the total losses. They iteratively increased the size of DG unit at all buses and then calculated the losses; based on loss calculation they ranked the nodes. Top ranked nodes are selected for DG unit placement Kanth et al. (2013) implemented sensitivity analysis and PSO on standard IEEE 15 bus test system for determining the location and size of DG in the distribution networks in order to reduce the real power losses of the system. To include the presence of harmonics, PSO was integrated with a harmonic power flow algorithm (HPF). Nalini et al. (2014) presented a heuristic optimization technique named particle swarm optimization (PSO) as a working tool to minimize simultaneously the economic cost of overall system by changing sitting and varying sizes of DGs. With respect to voltage profile THD and loss reduction by using the sensitivity analysis. Lakshyabhat et al. (2015) presented sensitivity analysis for 14 bus systems in a distribution network with distributed generators. An analysis is carried out by selecting the most optimum location in placing the Distributed Generators through load flow analysis and seeing where the voltage profile rises. Matlab programming is used for simulation of voltage profile in the respective buses after introduction of DG’s. A tolerance limit of +/-5% of the base value has to be maintained. To maintain the tolerance limit, 3 methods are used. Sensitivity analysis of 3 methods for voltage control is carried out to determine the priority among the methods. Singh et al. (2015) tested various indices and using effective techniques for the optimal placement and sizing of the DG unit by minimizing power losses and voltage deviation. They applied two sensitivity-based methods namely loss sensitivity analysis and voltage sensitivity analysis on 33- bus radial distribution system.

(2016) used sensitivity analysis to determine the location of DG and particle swarm optimization to determine the size of DG to minimize the power losses in the distribution network. The result, so obtained show the improvement of voltage profile, reduction of real power loss using MATLAB. Kumar et al. (2018) presented loss sensitivity factor method to identify optimal placement of DGs to minimize the power losses and to improve voltage profile and reliability in distribution system. Methodology is applied to IEEE 33-bus Radial Distribution System and the obtained results are compared. Suresh et al. (2018) proposed dragonfly algorithm to determine the optimal DG placement for benefit maximization in distribution networks and also compared with loss sensitivity factors for 33-bus system. Newton Raphson Load flow programs compute the voltage magnitudes and phase angles at each bus of the network under steady state operating conditions. These programs also compute real and reactive power in each of the line and power losses for all equipment, including transformers and distribution lines; thus overloaded transformers and distribution lines are identified and remedial measures can be implemented. The software used for the analysis is ETAP 12.6 is a fully graphical Electrical Transient Analyzer Program that provides a very high level of reliability, protection and security of critical applications. Among ETAP’s most powerful features are the composite network and motor element. Composite elements allow you to graphically nest network elements within themselves to an arbitrary depth. For example, a composite network can contain other composite networks, providing the capability to construct complex electrical networks while still maintaining a clean, uncluttered diagram that you want to emphasize. ETAP provides five levels of error checking. The active error viewer appears when you attempt to run a study with missing or inappropriate data. 2. MATERIALS The materials are: Distribution line data, bus data, load readings of the distribution feeders, installed capacity of transmission substations, injection substations, power rating of distribution transformers connected to the injection substations and Port Harcourt 33kv power distribution network diagram.

Modelling of 73 bus network of 33kV Port-Harcourt power Distribution Network using Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP 12.6) software for load flow analysis. ii. Steady state assessment of the network through load flow Analysis using Newton-Raphson (N-R) method. iii. Loss sensitivity factor method. Newton Raphson load flow will be simulated in ETAP software. This will be used to come up with the candidate buses for DG placement using loss sensitivity factor method. 3.1 COMPUTATIONAL PROCEDURE FOR NEWTON-RAPHSON METHOD The computational procedure for Newton-Raphson method using polar coordinate is as follows: 1.

Normally we set the assumed bus voltage magnitude and its phase angle equal to slack bus quantities / V1 / = 1.0, = 0o. 3.

If the calculated value of Qi is beyond the limits, then an appropriate limit is imposed and Qi is also calculated by subtracting the calculated value of Qi from the appropriate limit. The bus under consideration is now treated as a load (PQ) bus. 5. Compute the elements of the Jacobian matrix Using the estimated I Vi I and from step 2 6.

A distribution line with connected load Considering a distribution link shown in figure 3.2. The link represents a distribution line connecting two buses, and j of Port Harcourt distribution system. The magnitude of the two bus voltages, vi and vj are known by load flow study. The real and reactive power losses in each of the line and power flow are obtained by load flow studies. The real power loss in distribution line can be expressed as (3.1.8) (3.85) Similarly, reactive power loss in the distribution line can be expressed as (3.1.9) LSF value can be expressed by derivative of the equations (3.1.8) (3.1.10) (3.1.11) Loss sensitivity for all the candidate buses will be calculated using equation (3.1.11).

DISCUSSION After performing the load flow analysis of the 73-bus test distribution system under review using ETAP12.6 software, an alert summary report was generated which shows 35 candidate load bus are outside the statutory voltage constraint limit (0. 95p.u – 1. 05p.u) that is 31.35KV- 34.65KV. Loss sensitivity factor was performed on all the candidate buses. The findings on the obtained ranking demonstrate that few topmost load buses were appropriate for the placement of DGs as shown in fig.4.1. The candidate buses identified are: BUS 31, BUS37, BUS42, BUS53, BUS57, BUS58, BUS59, BUS67, BUS 69. Distributed generation units of 25MW gas turbine synchronous generator (DG1-9 units) were placed at these buses and load flow simulation repeated. The results are showed in table 4.2 with improvement in voltage profile and reduction of power losses in the distribution lines. 6. CONCLUSION The loss sensitivity factor method is useful in reducing the search space for optimal DG placement and particle swarm optimization. One consideration in determining the best placement for DG is its effect on losses and voltage profile. When the DGs were optimally placed at the candidate buses identified by loss sensitivity factor, there was an acceptable improvement in the entire distribution network in terms of loss minimization and voltage profile enhancement. Distributed generation (DG) is a new trend that can be used to improve availability of power and reliability of the power network. 7. REFERNCES 1.
