Optimal Siting and Sizing of Dg in Distribution Networks for Power Loss Saving

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to determine optimal location and size of DG so as to minimize real/active power loss in the distribution network. For this purpose, suitable expressions have been derived to compute the active power loss saving associated with placement of the DG units. The proposed method is applicable for sizing and siting of single DG unit at a time. Moreover, the proposed method requires only the results of base case load flow to determine the optimal size of DG unit. The proposed method is tested on 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution test systems. The comparison of results obtained by the proposed method with those of reported methods validate the suitability and importance of proposed method in determining the optimal size and site of DG unit.
