Abstract:Â Power system operation aims to meet the electricity demand at all the locations within power network as economically and reliably as possible. Conventional power system planning operation is based on centralized utility control. Optimal planning of DG for a distribution system is a crucial factor to achieve the benefits. DG may degrade the performance of the distribution system, if not planned properly. Therefore, in this paper, attempts have been made to develop some methodologies, which will be helpful for integrating DG into the existing electric power distribution systems and maximum power flow from source to destination with max-flow min-cut algorithm. The power flow should be not more than the capacity of the distribution line, hence max-flow min-cut theorem tells us that the value of flow and the capacity of the source to sink cut are both optimal in this network. Outflow from source node is equal to inflow in sink node indicates maximum flow in the network with minimum capacity of edges. The maxflow problem and min-cut problem can be formulated by Network optimization is a special type of linear programming model. This algorithm in implemented on IEEE-5 and IEEE-14 bus system using MATLAB graph theory function to validate the results.
