An analytic method for allocation of Distributed Generation in radial distribution system

These days Distributed Generation (DG) is going to be a credible alternative generation paradigm by overcoming significant economic, regulatory, technical and environmental hindrance. The sizing and allocation of DG in power system is also a prime factor for achieving minimum power loss and satisfactory voltage profile improvement. This paper presents an analytical method for calculating the optimum DG size and location in a radial distribution system. The proposed methodology is applied and validated in 33 bus and 85 bus radial distribution systems. The influence of DG on system with sizing and location issues is presented in detail.
