Distributed Power generation has gained a lot of attention in recent times due to constraints associated with conventional power generation and new advancements in DG technologies .The need to operate the power system economically and with optimum levels of reliability has further led to an increase in interest in Distributed Generation. However it is important to place Distributed Generator on...

This paper proposes a novel heuristic algorithm that aims to determine the best size and location of distributed generators in unbalanced distribution networks. The proposed heuristic algorithm can deal with the planning cases where power loss is to be optimized without violating the system practical constraints. The distributed generation units in the proposed algorithm is modeled as voltage c...

49 he liberalization of the world’s energy markets is forcing the electric supply industry to reorganize itself from the ground up. On the one hand, it is expanding to include energy services, power marketing and information technology based services; and on the other, it is increasing asset utilization, reducing maintenance costs, and saving on investments by optimizing operation of the existi...
