Loss Minimization by Optimal DG Placement on Radial Distribution Network

Abstract

With the increase in load demand and efforts to reduce distribution system losses, to increase the efficiency of the distribution system maintaining proper voltage profile and for the future expansion of the distribution network optimal distribution system planning is therefore very important and this important task must be solved in an optimal way. In this paper, IEEE-33 bus system is considered for optimally allocating the distributed generation source at some of the buses. The following effort explains that by placing distributed generation at most sensitive buses the real power losses in the system can be reduced drastically and voltage profile can also be improved. The sites for distributed generation are selected on the basis of sensitivity and the amount of real power source at that bus is decided by applying Local Search Method.
