This paper presents a generalized optimal model for determining the location and
rating of wind power generation in double auction competitive power market The
optimization technique has been used with an objective to maximizing the social
welfare and profit to wind gencos company (WP-GENCO) while consider all
system constraints The performance of any electricity market is assessed by its
impact on social welfare which may be defined as ldquothe difference of the benefit of
the energy to society as measured by societyrsquos willingness to pay for its demand
and the cost of energyrdquo Each distribution company (Disco) will pay an amount to
independent system operator (ISO) for purchase the power and each generation
company (Genco) will receive an amount from the ISO to sale the power The
amount to be paid by each Disco and amount to be received by each Genco has
been determined by pay as bidding price approach The social welfare has been
then determined based on total payments and receipts The proposed approach has
been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in which bidding at all generator
buses and some load buses has been introduced VC 2014 AIP Publishing LLC

I INTRODUCTION
Energy demands are increasing rapidly requiring more energy resources to meet these
demands resulting in an increase in environmental pollution and global warming if this
demand is met from fossil fuel based thermal power plants Renewable energy sources play
a critical role in the success of deregulation of a power sector The deregulation process pri-
marily focuses on enhancing system efficiency improving service standards and developing
competitive market It has changed the traditional mission and mandates of utilities in com-
plex ways and had large impacts on environmental social and political conditions for any
particular country1 Renewable energy sources (RES) is gradually being recognized as im-
portant options in competitive electricity markets With the price of oil reaching its highest
levels and nonavailable of good quality of coal combined with the desire to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions renewable energy has become an important alternative as a power pro-
vider2 Renewable energy sources are best options for electricity production in order to
achieve goals such as carbon-dioxide emission reduction and energy independence in com-
petitive electricity market
The location of best place installation and preferable size of the RES in deregulated envi-
ronment of power sector is a complex combination optimization problem Singh et al3 have
used mixed integer nonlinear programming for optimal locations for combined fuel cell and
RES However in Ref 3 the analytic hierarchy process used to make a decision over getting

the optimal locations of renewable energy sources Kroposi et al4 proposed optimizes the siz-
ing and placement of RES on electrical distribution feeders based on technical and economic
considerations But Refs 3 and 4 have not considered the maximization of social welfare as
objective function Optimal placement of wind turbines which maximizes the system social
welfare by using step controlled primal dual interior point method is presented in Ref 5 but
this paper considers optimal location of RES in radial distribution system only
References 6 and 7 have proposed optimal placement of renewable energy sources to
minimize fuel and emission costs of overall system The multiobjective bees algorithm has
been used to minimize simultaneously fuel cost and emission of thermal units by changing
location and varying sizes of solar farm with security constraints of power system6 Ant col-
ony based model has been proposed for optimal location of distributed generator (DG) in a
distribution network as the minimization of the investment cost of DG and total operation
costs of the system in Refs 8 and 9 Musi et al10 proposed model for optimal planning of
renewable energy integrated electricity generation with CO2 reduction by mixed integer lin-
ear programming Nara and Hayashi11 have been presented tabu search application for find-
ing the optimal allocation of DGs from a viewpoint of loss minimization Fuzzy-Genetic
Algorithm (GA) based method has been presented to resolve dispersed generator placement
for distribution systems12 Borges and Falcao13 have proposed a model for optimal distrib-
uted generation allocation for reliability losses and voltage improvement However all
references6ndash13 have used only in classical integrated model of power system
Reference 14 have proposed optimal allocation and sizing distributed generation in deregu-
lated electricity market assuming quadratic characteristics of such distributed generator Porkar
et al15 have proposed optimal planning frameworks for implementing distributed generation in
deregulated power sector without considering wind power generate company (WP-GENCO)
profit
In this paper an approach has been proposed in order to determine the optimal location
and rating of wind power generation in deregulated environment of power sector with an
objective to maximized social welfare minimized generation cost of wind power generation
(WPG) in double auction competitive power market In double auction bidding models both
the Gencos and Discos are allowed to offer and bid their prices to independent system opera-
tor (ISO) The Discos are required to pay an amount in order to purchase the power whereas
Gencos received the amount for sailing their power to discos The amount to be paid by
each disco and amount to be received by each Genco has been determined by actual bidding
price approach The maximization of WP-GENCO profit reduction in marginal price and
total system real power losses are also achieved with the proposed approach MATLAB pro-
gramming codes for the proposed technique have been developed and incorporated for the
simulation purpose In this paper the MATPOWER16 m-files are modified with adding the pro-
posed optimization codes to solve the problem In the proposed approach this Optimal Power
Flow (OPF) has been run several times for each and every possible location and sizing of WPG
and best location will be decided at which objective function gets maximum value
II MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION
In this section the mathematical formulation of proposed approach with maximization of
social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost with optimal location and size
of WPG In the considered power market model bulk loads as well as retailers are required to
bid their maximum demand and price function All generators are also required to bid their gen-
eration cost function along with their maximum generation
The Gencos participating in the pool bid their cost function and maximum generation
which they want to deliver to the pool Similarly loads bid their price function as well as their
maximum demand which they are willing to take from the pool17 After optimization of social
welfare the demand as well generation at all the buses are known Let the vector of pool real
power demand is

Consider a system having total nb number of buses ng number of generators and nd num-
ber of loads Let the generation cost curve bid to the pool by generator at bus i be denoted by
CiethPgpi THORN Let the worth function (which is also called benefit function) for load that is price de-
pendent be BjethPdpj THORN It represents the price the load is willing to pay to purchase an amount of
power ethPdpj THORN
In a competitive power market when the energy demand is price elastic that is ldquosensitive
to the energy pricerdquo in which both Gencos amp Discos are allowed to bid their prices then the
social welfare is given by Eq (3) This type of bidding is called double auction bidding It can
be shown that a perfect market has maximum social welfare (SW) Real markets always operate
at lower levels of social welfare The difference in social welfare between a perfect market and
a real market is a measure of the efficiency of the real market
For an elastic load (or in double auction power market) the social welfare is evaluated as

With the offer characteristics of all pool generators and bidding characteristics of all pool
demands the optimization of objective function Eq (4) has been carried out with satisfying all
constraints Eqs (5)ndash(9) along with generation offers and demand bidding constraints which are
the maximum limits of offers as well as demand bids Social welfare is a difference of the ben-
efit of the energy to society as measured by societyrsquos willingness to pay for its demand and the
cost of energy The marginal prices at all system buses are also determined by this optimization
process Marginal pricing is also called nodal price or locational marginal price (LMP) of elec-
tricity plays an important role in a competitive power market2021

Marginal price are found lower with optimal locating WPG for pool model The graphical
representation of reduction in marginal pricing with optimal location of WPG is shown in
Figure 2 The total real power losses without WPG is 486 MW whereas with WPG is
353 MW Hence there is considerably the reduction in real power losses by optimal placement
of WPG by this proposed approach

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-
able for the location of WPG
The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

As per third option the wind generator of 128 MW may be located at bus number 10 It provides
the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be
located second preferences as so on The preferences order may be written based on maximiza-
tion of objective function is given in Table VI and Figure 3 the maximum of social welfare as
shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-
ment of power sector The WP-GENCO profit and effect of WPG on system real power losses and
marginal pricing of electricity have been also investigated and presented The optimal location of
WPG has been determined by making priority order which is based on value of objective function

rating of wind power generation in double auction competitive power market The
optimization technique has been used with an objective to maximizing the social
welfare and profit to wind gencos company (WP-GENCO) while consider all
system constraints The performance of any electricity market is assessed by its
impact on social welfare which may be defined as ldquothe difference of the benefit of
the energy to society as measured by societyrsquos willingness to pay for its demand
and the cost of energyrdquo Each distribution company (Disco) will pay an amount to
independent system operator (ISO) for purchase the power and each generation
company (Genco) will receive an amount from the ISO to sale the power The
amount to be paid by each Disco and amount to be received by each Genco has
been determined by pay as bidding price approach The social welfare has been
then determined based on total payments and receipts The proposed approach has
been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in which bidding at all generator
buses and some load buses has been introduced VC 2014 AIP Publishing LLC

I INTRODUCTION
Energy demands are increasing rapidly requiring more energy resources to meet these
demands resulting in an increase in environmental pollution and global warming if this
demand is met from fossil fuel based thermal power plants Renewable energy sources play
a critical role in the success of deregulation of a power sector The deregulation process pri-
marily focuses on enhancing system efficiency improving service standards and developing
competitive market It has changed the traditional mission and mandates of utilities in com-
plex ways and had large impacts on environmental social and political conditions for any
particular country1 Renewable energy sources (RES) is gradually being recognized as im-
portant options in competitive electricity markets With the price of oil reaching its highest
levels and nonavailable of good quality of coal combined with the desire to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions renewable energy has become an important alternative as a power pro-
vider2 Renewable energy sources are best options for electricity production in order to
achieve goals such as carbon-dioxide emission reduction and energy independence in com-
petitive electricity market
The location of best place installation and preferable size of the RES in deregulated envi-
ronment of power sector is a complex combination optimization problem Singh et al3 have
used mixed integer nonlinear programming for optimal locations for combined fuel cell and
RES However in Ref 3 the analytic hierarchy process used to make a decision over getting

the optimal locations of renewable energy sources Kroposi et al4 proposed optimizes the siz-
ing and placement of RES on electrical distribution feeders based on technical and economic
considerations But Refs 3 and 4 have not considered the maximization of social welfare as
objective function Optimal placement of wind turbines which maximizes the system social
welfare by using step controlled primal dual interior point method is presented in Ref 5 but
this paper considers optimal location of RES in radial distribution system only
References 6 and 7 have proposed optimal placement of renewable energy sources to
minimize fuel and emission costs of overall system The multiobjective bees algorithm has
been used to minimize simultaneously fuel cost and emission of thermal units by changing
location and varying sizes of solar farm with security constraints of power system6 Ant col-
ony based model has been proposed for optimal location of distributed generator (DG) in a
distribution network as the minimization of the investment cost of DG and total operation
costs of the system in Refs 8 and 9 Musi et al10 proposed model for optimal planning of
renewable energy integrated electricity generation with CO2 reduction by mixed integer lin-
ear programming Nara and Hayashi11 have been presented tabu search application for find-
ing the optimal allocation of DGs from a viewpoint of loss minimization Fuzzy-Genetic
Algorithm (GA) based method has been presented to resolve dispersed generator placement
for distribution systems12 Borges and Falcao13 have proposed a model for optimal distrib-
uted generation allocation for reliability losses and voltage improvement However all
references6ndash13 have used only in classical integrated model of power system
Reference 14 have proposed optimal allocation and sizing distributed generation in deregu-
lated electricity market assuming quadratic characteristics of such distributed generator Porkar
et al15 have proposed optimal planning frameworks for implementing distributed generation in
deregulated power sector without considering wind power generate company (WP-GENCO)
profit
In this paper an approach has been proposed in order to determine the optimal location
and rating of wind power generation in deregulated environment of power sector with an
objective to maximized social welfare minimized generation cost of wind power generation
(WPG) in double auction competitive power market In double auction bidding models both
the Gencos and Discos are allowed to offer and bid their prices to independent system opera-
tor (ISO) The Discos are required to pay an amount in order to purchase the power whereas
Gencos received the amount for sailing their power to discos The amount to be paid by
each disco and amount to be received by each Genco has been determined by actual bidding
price approach The maximization of WP-GENCO profit reduction in marginal price and
total system real power losses are also achieved with the proposed approach MATLAB pro-
gramming codes for the proposed technique have been developed and incorporated for the
simulation purpose In this paper the MATPOWER16 m-files are modified with adding the pro-
posed optimization codes to solve the problem In the proposed approach this Optimal Power
Flow (OPF) has been run several times for each and every possible location and sizing of WPG
and best location will be decided at which objective function gets maximum value
II MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION
In this section the mathematical formulation of proposed approach with maximization of
social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost with optimal location and size
of WPG In the considered power market model bulk loads as well as retailers are required to
bid their maximum demand and price function All generators are also required to bid their gen-
eration cost function along with their maximum generation
The Gencos participating in the pool bid their cost function and maximum generation
which they want to deliver to the pool Similarly loads bid their price function as well as their
maximum demand which they are willing to take from the pool17 After optimization of social
welfare the demand as well generation at all the buses are known Let the vector of pool real
power demand is

Consider a system having total nb number of buses ng number of generators and nd num-
ber of loads Let the generation cost curve bid to the pool by generator at bus i be denoted by
CiethPgpi THORN Let the worth function (which is also called benefit function) for load that is price de-
pendent be BjethPdpj THORN It represents the price the load is willing to pay to purchase an amount of
power ethPdpj THORN
In a competitive power market when the energy demand is price elastic that is ldquosensitive
to the energy pricerdquo in which both Gencos amp Discos are allowed to bid their prices then the
social welfare is given by Eq (3) This type of bidding is called double auction bidding It can
be shown that a perfect market has maximum social welfare (SW) Real markets always operate
at lower levels of social welfare The difference in social welfare between a perfect market and
a real market is a measure of the efficiency of the real market
For an elastic load (or in double auction power market) the social welfare is evaluated as

With the offer characteristics of all pool generators and bidding characteristics of all pool
demands the optimization of objective function Eq (4) has been carried out with satisfying all
constraints Eqs (5)ndash(9) along with generation offers and demand bidding constraints which are
the maximum limits of offers as well as demand bids Social welfare is a difference of the ben-
efit of the energy to society as measured by societyrsquos willingness to pay for its demand and the
cost of energy The marginal prices at all system buses are also determined by this optimization
process Marginal pricing is also called nodal price or locational marginal price (LMP) of elec-
tricity plays an important role in a competitive power market2021

Marginal price are found lower with optimal locating WPG for pool model The graphical
representation of reduction in marginal pricing with optimal location of WPG is shown in
Figure 2 The total real power losses without WPG is 486 MW whereas with WPG is
353 MW Hence there is considerably the reduction in real power losses by optimal placement
of WPG by this proposed approach

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-
able for the location of WPG
The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

As per third option the wind generator of 128 MW may be located at bus number 10 It provides
the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be
located second preferences as so on The preferences order may be written based on maximiza-
tion of objective function is given in Table VI and Figure 3 the maximum of social welfare as
shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-
ment of power sector The WP-GENCO profit and effect of WPG on system real power losses and
marginal pricing of electricity have been also investigated and presented The optimal location of
WPG has been determined by making priority order which is based on value of objective function

In this section the mathematical formulation of proposed approach with maximization of
social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost with optimal location and size
of WPG In the considered power market model bulk loads as well as retailers are required to
bid their maximum demand and price function All generators are also required to bid their gen-
eration cost function along with their maximum generation

Consider a system having total nb number of buses ng number of generators and nd num-
ber of loads Let the generation cost curve bid to the pool by generator at bus i be denoted by
CiethPgpi THORN Let the worth function (which is also called benefit function) for load that is price de-
pendent be BjethPdpj THORN It represents the price the load is willing to pay to purchase an amount of
power ethPdpj THORN
In a competitive power market when the energy demand is price elastic that is ldquosensitive
to the energy pricerdquo in which both Gencos amp Discos are allowed to bid their prices then the
social welfare is given by Eq (3) This type of bidding is called double auction bidding It can
be shown that a perfect market has maximum social welfare (SW) Real markets always operate
at lower levels of social welfare The difference in social welfare between a perfect market and
a real market is a measure of the efficiency of the real market
For an elastic load (or in double auction power market) the social welfare is evaluated as

demands the optimization of objective function Eq (4) has been carried out with satisfying all
constraints Eqs (5)ndash(9) along with generation offers and demand bidding constraints which are
the maximum limits of offers as well as demand bids Social welfare is a difference of the ben-

cost of energy The marginal prices at all system buses are also determined by this optimization

Marginal price are found lower with optimal locating WPG for pool model The graphical
representation of reduction in marginal pricing with optimal location of WPG is shown in
Figure 2 The total real power losses without WPG is 486 MW whereas with WPG is
353 MW Hence there is considerably the reduction in real power losses by optimal placement
of WPG by this proposed approach

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-
able for the location of WPG
The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

As per third option the wind generator of 128 MW may be located at bus number 10 It provides
the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be
located second preferences as so on The preferences order may be written based on maximiza-
tion of objective function is given in Table VI and Figure 3 the maximum of social welfare as
shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-
ment of power sector The WP-GENCO profit and effect of WPG on system real power losses and
marginal pricing of electricity have been also investigated and presented The optimal location of
WPG has been determined by making priority order which is based on value of objective function

Marginal price are found lower with optimal locating WPG for pool model The graphical
representation of reduction in marginal pricing with optimal location of WPG is shown in
Figure 2 The total real power losses without WPG is 486 MW whereas with WPG is
353 MW Hence there is considerably the reduction in real power losses by optimal placement
of WPG by this proposed approach

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-
able for the location of WPG
The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

As per third option the wind generator of 128 MW may be located at bus number 10 It provides
the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be
located second preferences as so on The preferences order may be written based on maximiza-
tion of objective function is given in Table VI and Figure 3 the maximum of social welfare as
shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-
ment of power sector The WP-GENCO profit and effect of WPG on system real power losses and
marginal pricing of electricity have been also investigated and presented The optimal location of
WPG has been determined by making priority order which is based on value of objective function

demands the optimization of objective function Eq (4) has been carried out with satisfying all
constraints Eqs (5)ndash(9) along with generation offers and demand bidding constraints which are
the maximum limits of offers as well as demand bids Social welfare is a difference of the ben-
efit of the energy to society as measured by societyrsquos willingness to pay for its demand and the
cost of energy The marginal prices at all system buses are also determined by this optimization
process Marginal pricing is also called nodal price or locational marginal price (LMP) of elec-
tricity plays an important role in a competitive power market2021

six generators are assumed to bid the quadratic cost characteristics as given in Eq (11) with
the generators bidding coefficient as shown in Table I

Similarly load at seven demand buses are also assumed to bid the quadratic cost character-
istics as given in Eq (12) with the demands bidding coefficient shown in Table II

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-

The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be

shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-

six generators are assumed to bid the quadratic cost characteristics as given in Eq (11) with
the generators bidding coefficient as shown in Table I
Ci Pgieth THORN frac14 ai Pgieth THORN2 thorn bi Pgieth THORN thorn ci (11)
Similarly load at seven demand buses are also assumed to bid the quadratic cost character-
istics as given in Eq (12) with the demands bidding coefficient shown in Table II

By the proposed approach first optimization has been performed without considering WPG
in the network and determines the optimal values of objective function and social welfare
After that the optimal size and optimal location of WPG is determined with the proposed
approach The optimal result is given in Table III and the corresponding optimal generation pat-
terns and load patterns are given in Tables IV and V respectively

Marginal price are found lower with optimal locating WPG for pool model The graphical
representation of reduction in marginal pricing with optimal location of WPG is shown in
Figure 2 The total real power losses without WPG is 486 MW whereas with WPG is
353 MW Hence there is considerably the reduction in real power losses by optimal placement
of WPG by this proposed approach

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-
able for the location of WPG
The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

As per third option the wind generator of 128 MW may be located at bus number 10 It provides
the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be
located second preferences as so on The preferences order may be written based on maximiza-
tion of objective function is given in Table VI and Figure 3 the maximum of social welfare as
shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-
ment of power sector The WP-GENCO profit and effect of WPG on system real power losses and
marginal pricing of electricity have been also investigated and presented The optimal location of
WPG has been determined by making priority order which is based on value of objective function

Marginal price are found lower with optimal locating WPG for pool model The graphical
representation of reduction in marginal pricing with optimal location of WPG is shown in
Figure 2 The total real power losses without WPG is 486 MW whereas with WPG is
353 MW Hence there is considerably the reduction in real power losses by optimal placement
of WPG by this proposed approach

The priority wise optimal location of WPG based on objective function is given in
Table VI As is seen in this table the first option presents the location of 92 MW of WPG at
bus number 8 As per this option the profit to WP-GENCO is maximum but social welfare is
minimum Therefore if we want to get maximum profit of WP-GENCO this point is most suit-
able for the location of WPG
The second option presents the optimal location of 173 MW WPG at bus number 4 As per
this option the social welfare is maximum whereas profit of WP-GENCO is minimum That is
why it is the best location of WPG for getting maximum social welfare However if due to
climate condition (nonavailability of sufficient wind speed) at bus number 8 and bus number 4
The other options in priority table may also be considered for the locations

As per third option the wind generator of 128 MW may be located at bus number 10 It provides
the second best option for profit of WP-GENCO As per fourth option the wind generator of
167 MW may be located at bus number 6 It provides the second best option for social welfare
In case wind speedweather condition are not in favor at first priority than WPG may be
located second preferences as so on The preferences order may be written based on maximiza-
tion of objective function is given in Table VI and Figure 3 the maximum of social welfare as
shown in Figure 4 the minimization of cost of WPG as shown in Figure 5 the maximum of
profit of WPG as shown in Figure 6
From Table VI it is clear that there is a considerable improvement in social welfare as
compared with without WPG in all priority options The seven priorities for optimal location of
WPG have been mentioned in Table VI and are shown in Figure 7
IV CONCLUSIONS
In this paper an optimal approach for location and rating of wind generator as WPG with maxi-
mization of social welfare and minimization of wind power generation cost has been presented The
proposed approach has been applied to modified IEEE 30-bus test system in deregulated environ-
ment of power sector The WP-GENCO profit and effect of WPG on system real power losses and
marginal pricing of electricity have been also investigated and presented The optimal location of
WPG has been determined by making priority order which is based on value of objective function
