Item Optimal Allocation of Renewable Energy Hybrid Distributed Generations for Small-Signal Stability Enhancement(2019-11-14) Ajeigbe, Olusayo A.; Munda, Josiah L.; Hamam, Yskandarwind, and biomass takes into consideration the impact assessment of variable generations from PV and wind on the distribution networks’ long term dynamic voltage and small-signal stabilities. Unlike other renewable distributed generations, the variability of power from solar PV and wind generations causes small-signal instabilities if they are sub-optimally allocated in the distribution network. Hence, the variables related to small-signal stability are included and constrained in the model, unlike what is obtainable in the current works on the planning of optimal allocation of renewable distributed generations. Thus, the model is motivated to maximize the penetration of renewable powers by minimizing the net present value of total cost, which includes investment, maintenance, energy, and emission costs. Consequently, the optimization problem is formulated as a stochastic mixed integer linear program, which ensures limited convergence to optimality. Numerical results of the proposed model demonstrate a significant reduction in electricity and emission costs, enhancement of system dynamic voltage and small-signal stabilities, as well as improvement in welfare costs and environmental goodnessItem Renewable Distributed Generations’ Uncertainty Modelling: A Survey(IEEE PES/IAS PowerAfrica, 2021-01-27) Ajeigbe, Olusayo A.; Munda, Josiah L.; Hamam, YskandarRenewable energy distributed generation is reaching an unprecedented level of integration into power generation systems due to its numerous advantages. However, its increased penetration compounds the level of uncertainties being coped with in distribution systems. This aggravates the difficulty in making decisions in the context of large-scale penetration of renewable distributed generations, especially with the intermittent ones. Consequently, the analysis of uncertainty and modelling of the related system parameters is essential. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on uncertainty modelling approaches for distribution system studies and applications. This work focuses mainly on classifying and comparing the uncertainty modelling approaches and methodologies, presenting mathematical syntax of the methods, as well as the merits and demerits of the modelling methods. This study serves as the knowledge warehouse and selection tool for choosing the most suitable method for various applications
