Abstract

This paper presents the computer simulation of the multistage model for distribution expansion planning with distributed generation, as described in Part I. The simulations deal with the planning of an electrical power distribution network in three stages, in five different situations: 1. each of the three stages planned independently; 2. multistage planning; 3. multistage planning with distributed generation; 4. multistage planning with distributed generation and constraints on investment; and 5. multistage planning with distributed generation considering three load levels. The influence of additional constraints is analyzed in terms of the computational effort required to find the optimum solution to the problem.
