Distributed generators are very much beneficial in reducing the losses effectively compared to other methods of loss reduction .In this paper optimal size of DG unit operated at optimal power factor is dealt. DG unit placement using fuzzy logic and sizing of DG at any power factor is calculated using analytical method . Voltage and power loss reduction indices of distribution system nodes are m...

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 has developed a novel multiobjective function for optimal sizing and sitting ofDistributed Generation (DG) units and capacitor banks in simultaneous mode to improve reliabilityand reduce energy losses. The proposed function consists of four objectives: Cost of Energy NotSupplied (CENS), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), costs of energy loss andinvestment. A novel st...

optimal sitting and sizing of shunt capacitor banks at the distribution networks for the purpose of power quality improvement is drawn much attention of electric power utilities in the last decades. determining the optimal number, location and sizing of capacitor using bee colony optimization algorithm (bco) is being presented in this paper. the bco algorithm is a new population based meta-heur...

Optimal placement and sizing of DG in distribution network is an optimization problem with continuous and discrete variables. Many researchers have used evolutionary methods for finding the optimal DG placement. This paper proposes a shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) for optimal placement and sizing of distributed generation (DG) in radial distribution system to minimize the total real pow...

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 ...

This paper presents a possibilistic (fuzzy) model in optimal siting and sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) for loss reduction and improve voltage profile in power distribution system. Multi-objective problem is developed in two phases. In the first one, the set of non-dominated planning solutions is obtained (with respect to the objective functions of fuzzy economic cost, and exposure) using...
