Using Fuzzy Logic & Full Search for Distributed generation allocation to reduce losses and improve voltage profile

This paper presents a method for the optimal allocation of Distributed generation in distribution systems. The values of Distributed Generator (DG) are very dependent on its location as it was installed in distribution feeders as well as its type and size. In this paper, our aim would be optimal distributed generation allocation for voltage profile improvement and loss reduction in distribution network. The Fuzzy Logic with Full Search is used as the optimization technique. The suggested method is programmed under MATLAB software.
