Table 4: Generator cost data

Implement this system in power systems simulation software (e.g. PowerWorld, ETAP, MATLAB) and analyse its power flow (including voltage profile and power ratings). Comment on any issues identified.

Through calculation and analysis of reliability indices and through cost evaluation, design an optimum solution for placement and sizing of the generator for this system. Show its effect on the system reliability and its economic viability. Implement your design in the simulator and use the software to demonstrate the improvements in performance.

Discuss the types of generator that you might choose with respect to economic, technical and environmental considerations. Discuss, with demonstrations from your analysis, the technical, safety and economic benefits and drawbacks of embedded generation in this case.
