A Novel Approach Using Optimization Algorithm For Economic Dispatch Of DG Sources In Nano Grids /

Abstract

This thesis presents an overview of the architecture for smart Nano grids, integration of various diversified distributed generation technologies in Nano grids at small community level and different policies governing its implementation. The work also reviews the current energy scenario of Pakistan with emphasis on the need of setting up small scale Nano grids with integration of V2G technology for decentralization and deregulation of the currently wrecked power sector of Pakistan. Various load profiles along with load shedding schedules have been tested under the simulation of the presented Nano grid architecture. The promising results obtained after running the simulation testify the fact that integration of vehicles at small community level can provide a viable solution to eradicate the menace of energy crisis by offering peak shaving and demand side management benefits.
