Optimization of the decision on the integration of distributed generation with the electrical grid using linear programming (Optymalizacja decyzji o przyłączeniu rozproszonych źródeł energii do sieci elektroenergetycznej z wykorzystaniem programowania liniowego)

The paper deals with decision optimization of the integration of distributed generation with electrical grid. Presented algorithm is based on technical and economic factors of integration of distributed generation. A Linear Programming Methodology, where the various alternatives of distributed generators integrated with certain grid knots as decision variables is used. The aim of optimization is to find out these alternatives which will guarantee maximization of economic and technical benefits for investor, by installing the most effective units of distributed generation in the best possible location. The method is presented on the example of 110/20 kV grid.
