A Novel Model of Electricity Generation to Change the Direction of Grid Expansion and Power Flow Network

The aim of this paper is to explore a new model of electricity generation with a different topology of grid expansion and different direction of power flow network as well as higher penetration rate of renewable energy. Conventional system to generate electricity is to generate large amount electricity which reaches to the consumer end through long transmission line and distribution systems. The expansion of grid follows "generation, transmission, distribution and consumer" network. Expansion of grid nearby the existing one is not so difficult. However, it needs longer time to reach electricity to a residency of remote area because of higher cost associated with long transmission and distribution line. Unavailability of electricity is one of the most important reasons to deprive the population of remote area. It is possible to confirm electricity to the citizens of a remote area by producing small scale electricity at or nearby the consuming spot instead of bearing it through long transmission and distribution lines. Interconnection of multiple small scale generation units may form a different network in comparison to traditional power flow network. A novel method to achieve this has been discussed in this paper. The analyses have been done mainly based on the condition, environment, data and other factors of Bangladesh. This work is not to replace the traditional grid expansion topology rather to assist it with an alternative way.
