A Radial Distribution network is important in power system area because of its simple design and reduced cost. Impact of Distributed generation in radial distribution feeder is increased because of its application of green technology and it also meet out some of the power system issues. Allocation of Distributed Generation at non-optimal places leads to increased power loss and reduced bus volt...

Distributed Generation (DG) is a promising solution to many power system problems such as voltage regulation, power loss, etc. The location in the power system for DG placement is found to be very important. The additional DG placement strategy is also found to depend largely on the total capacity and location of DG already installed on the system. In this paper, a design strategy based on a pr...

Distributed Generation (DG) is a promising solution to many power system problems such as voltage regulation, power loss, etc. This paper presents a new methodology using a new population based meta heuristic approach namely Artificial Bee Colony algorithm(ABC) for the placement of Distributed Generators(DG) in the radial distribution systems to reduce the real power losses and to improve the v...

This paper proposes an advanced Pareto-front non-dominated sorting multi-objective particle swarm optimization (Advanced-PFNDMOPSO) method for optimal configuration (placement and sizing) of distributed generation (DG) in the radial distribution system. The distributed generation consists of single and multiple numbers of active power DG, reactive power DG and simultaneous placement of active-r...

This paper presents two different but very important aspects of distribution network that’s voltage profile and losses. By keeping in view of these parameters this is to be decided where the distributing generating Units must be placed in distribution network. In the present and future Distributed generation (DG) has its vital importance due to more demand of electricity and renewable nature of...

Mitigating power loss and voltage profile problems on radial distribution networks has been a major challenge to system operators. While deployment of distributed generation, as compensators, made suitable solution option, optimum placement sizing the compensators concern it thus receiving great attention. Meta-heuristic algorithms have found efficacious in this respect, yet use addressing feed...
