Design and Modeling of Centralized Distribution Network for the DC House Project

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>This thesis focuses on the design, modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of Centralized Distribution Network for the DC House Project. Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) is used to model a Centralized PV Source, Battery Bank, and Distribution Network for 25 DC Houses. Design and modeling of each component in the proposed system are described. For the performance evaluation, emphasis is on voltage stability and system reliability under different operating conditions. Results from the simulation demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed Centralized Distribution Network for the DC House Project to support the houses during non-generation periods and distribution network voltage stability under different operating conditions. Cost analysis also shows the feasibility of the proposed system as compared to commonly used AC distribution network.</p>
