✦ Synopsis
This paper provides a methodology for the optimization of an existing electrical distribution network when upgraded by renewable energies. The contribution of renewable energy in electricity generation is decided upon through both network design optimization and proper load management whereby applications that can be satis"ed by non-electrical means are separated from the main load. The remaining load will then be satis"ed by an optimal mix of renewable energy which will be injected to the existing grid. The proposed problem will be formulated using multiobjective linear programming in conjunction with fuzzy logic. It will be shown that optimization using fuzzy logic can provide decision makers with more #exibility that would assist them in the allocation of various energy resources to optimally meet the various end uses and solve the problem of renewable energy connection to existing distribution networks.
