Abstract :
Traditionally, distribution networks are radial in topology and passive in nature. Over the past few decades, there has been tremendous interest in non-conventional energy sources, largely driven by dwindling fossil fuel supplies and increasing global warming concerns. The purpose of this research is to manage and improve the reliability of the distribution network with the approach of load response resources in the presence of scattered production resources. In this research, we also considered the effect of storage devices on the congestion and observed that the storage devices act as a load when there is no congestion in the network and draw power from the network and are charged, but in a situation where the congestion in the network is high. They act as a source of power production and are discharged and injected into the power grid, which in turn reduces congestion.
