Optimal Multi-Objective Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generation in Distribution System: A Comprehensive Review

For over a decade, distributed generations (DGs) have sufficiently convinced the researchers that they are economic and environment-friendly solution can be integrated with centralized generations. The optimal planning of requires appropriate location sizing their corresponding control various power network types to obtain best technical, economical, commercial, regulatory objectives. Most these objectives conflicting in nature require multi-objective solutions. Therefore, this paper brings comprehensive literature review critical analysis state art DG installation different objective functions constraints. considers adoption optimization techniques for generation radial distribution systems from system performance viewpoints; it use types, models, variables, mathematical formulations; participation countries stated placement problem. Moreover, summary article helps engineers explore research gap find future recommendations robust DGs working algorithms. uncertainties on load side, introduction energy storage backups, testing large complex networks.
