Optimal Placement of DGs in the Distribution Networks using an Analytical Approach

The work deals with the penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) units into a simple radial system. An analytical optimization method is used to determine the optimal locations and sizes of the DGs minimizing the power distribution loss. A load flow method called Backward/Forward is used. In addition, a method based on the calculation of Voltage Stability Index (VSI) is employed to ensure the stability of the system after the placement of DG units.
