Distributed generation allows achieving large savings or causing technical problems, depending on the generation size, type and location. The optimal location and sizing of DG is a challenging problem and requires a multiobjective programming approach. In this paper the aspects of the DG siting and sizing problem are highlighted considering the simultaneous optimization of several objective fun...

With the penetration of distributed generators (DGs), operation planning studies are essential in maintaining and operating a reliable and secure power system. Appropriate siting and sizing of DGs could lead to many positive effects forthe distribution system concerned, such as the reduced total costs associated with DGs, reduced network losses, and improved voltage profiles and enhanced power-...

This paper presents a multi-objective formulation for optimal siting and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and energy not supplied. The implemented technique is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. Simulation results on 33-bus distri...

Increasing the unplanned penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) has spurred active and reactive power losses in distribution system. This article suggests using a novel Strawberry Plant Propagation Algorithm (SPPA) for planning placement DGs with aim reducing network (active) improving overall voltage profile. The proposed method been tested on 33 69 node radial systems MATLAB. A cost anal...

Recently, there has been great interest in the integration of distributed generation units at the distribution level. The foreseeable large use of DG in the future requires the distribution system engineers to properly take into account its impact in the system planning. When considering DG impact the attention should be paid in the siting and sizing of DG units. This paper proposes the use of ...

Abstract— Optimal siting and sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) and other power compensating devices in distribution networks are the two crucial and also very important factors to get maximum benefits such as technical, economical, and environmental both for the utility and cust...

This paper presents a novel Butterfly-PSO optimization technique for optimal sizing and siting of the distributed generations (DGs). The validity of the evaluated results is confirmed by comparing with well known Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Standard or Conventional Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To exhibit it’s compatibility in terms of load management an impact of different load models on t...
