description In recent years, photovoltaic distributed generation (PVDG) has seen rapid growth due to its benefits in supporting the power system network, enhancing the transmission and distribution of power, and minimizing power congestion. PVDGs are connected directly to the load and produce power locally for the users, thus help to relieve the entire grid by reducing the demand especially during the peak load. Due to the random nature of the weather and occurrences of uncertainty, the planning and optimization of PVDG in the power system network with predicted uncertainty in photovoltaic generations and load variations are of crucial importance to minimize power losses. Thus, this research aims to develop a new optimization framework based on Monte Carlo embedded hybrid variant mean – variance mapping optimization (MVMO-SH) for the planning of PVDGs by considering these uncertainties. In this work, the probabilistic method in managing the risk of solar irradiance uncertainty with load variability is prepared. Uncertainty management is focused on the Malaysian tropical climate. Using meteorological data for one reference year, the Monte-Carlo simulation is performed in the Beta probability density function (PDF) to model continuous random variables of solar irradiances.
