Abstract The deregulation of electricity markets over the last decades led to emer-gence of many challenges related to operation of restructured power systems such as transmission loss allocation.This thesis concerns with an economic study about deregulated power systems comprising PV and wind DGs. The the-sis focuses on two objectives:The first objective is proposing a general framework for the application of loss allocation techniques for networks comprising renewable DGs. Two differ-ent techniques for loss allocation are applied on the IEEE 14-bus system, to which photovoltaic(PV) and wind sources are integrated. The sizing of the inte-grated renewable DGs is performed using HOMER software to minimize the system cost and the placement of DGs is implemented using a heuristic method to reduce the system power losses. |
