Review of Different Methods for Siting and Sizing Distributed Generator

Distributed generator has been confirmed to be a means by which installation of new centralized can delayed or postponed in the era deregulation. It helps minimize line losses and improve voltage profile. benefits associated with distributed greatly harnessed when DG is optimally sited sized within power system network. In this study, different methods used previous researchers were extensively reviewed. The summary methodologies from works itemized one after other. This was done under impact These are summaries three categories namely; analytical, meta-heuristic hybrid optimization methods. All based on solving non-linear load flow solution except Inherent Structural Network Topology. review work, inherent structural network topology recommended for further studies solve problems.
