Time Series-Based Load Flow Simulation Algorithm for Distributed Generation in Distribution Networks †

This paper proposes a load flow model to estimate the actual power output by incorporating time series data for solar irradiance and wind speed at a specific location. The integration of this time series data into the network is carried out in three distinct scenarios: considering only solar output, only wind output, and the combined contribution of solar and wind. These data integration processes are followed by load flow analysis conducted on the standard IEEE 33Bus radial distribution system. The time series simulations are executed using OpenDSS (Open Distribution System Simulator) software, which utilizes a COM (Common Object Model) interface to display results in MATLAB.
