Abstract :
The operation of a radial distribution network in an islanded mode has become significant due to an increase in the integration of renewable sources to the utility network. In this project, a computational tool is presented to design the sizes of the distributed resources for an autonomous micro-grid operation of a radial distributor. The technique employs GA optimization, considers the variation in generation and demands in summer and winter. The presented load flow solutions of the designed islanded-Micro-grid shows that the node voltages are within the specified limits during summer and winter.
