Analytical approaches for Optimal Placement and sizing of Distributed generation in Power System

Abstract

Power system deregulation and the shortage of trans- mission capacities have led to increased interest in distributed gen- eration (DG) sources. Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper presents analytical methods to determine the optimal loca- tion to place a DG in radial as well as networked systems to min- imize the power loss of the system. Simulation results are given to verify the proposed analytical approaches.
