This paper represents an effective method for optimal placement of DG and capacitor in distribution system. The main objective is to reduce the power losses in the system by placing capacitor and DG of optimal size and at optimal location. Distribution system connects the high voltage transmission system and low voltage side, hence it is necessary to keep the system at minimum losses for making...

Distributed generators are beneficial in reducing the losses effectively compared to other methods of loss reduction. On the other hand DGs can be implemented for improvement of reliability of system too. In this paper optimal DG sources placement using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is discussed. The optimal size and location of the DG unit is calculated. Reliability and power loss redu...

application of distributed generation (dg) units in distribution networks has increased in recent years. sizing and sitting of dg units are two important factors which should be considered, especially for reduction of power losses in distribution system. this paper presents a new approach for dg placement in distribution systems using the mixed integer nonlinear programming (minlp). this approa...

Nowadays, using distributed generation (DG) resources, such as wind and solar, also improving the voltage profile in distribution companies has been considered. As optimal placement and sizing of shunt capacitors become more prevalent, utilities want to determine the impact of the various capacitors placement in distribution systems. Locating and determining the optimal capacity of shunt capaci...

Integration of Distributed Generation (DG) in an electrical distribution system has increased recently due to voltage improvement, line loss reduction, environmental advantages, and postponement of system upgrading, and increasing reliability. Improper location and capacity of DG may affect the voltage stability on the Distribution System (DS). Optimization techniques are tools used to predict ...

Regarding the nature of non-linear discrete placement, and in order to determine the optimal capacity of the substation, the goal in the present study will be a number of local optimum points. In this research, the problem of optimal placement posts to reduce power losses by considering Distributed Generation (DG). In formulating the objective function, geographical distribution density in the ...
