Multiobjective placement and sizing of distributed generations in distribution system using global criterion method

Summary This paper presents a multiobjective method for obtaining optimal size and site of distributed generation (DG), to reduce loss, and DG investment cost while improving the voltage profile in primary distribution networks. To solve the multiobjective problem, a classical technique known as global criterion method is implemented to form a novel objective function equation, which is custom-built for a distribution system. The application of the global criterion method is explained using a DG that is capable of injecting real power, ie, unity power factor DG, and then extended to DGs capable of injecting reactive power. The method is validated for 2 distribution systems. Results show that the proposed method satisfies the individual objectives simultaneously. The proposed method is also compared with existing methods to exhibit its effectiveness.
