Ending Node Voltages Based DG Placement in Distribution Networks

Abstract

one of the main tools to reduce power loss of distribution networks and compensate the voltage drop along the feeding line to the ending loads is to implement Dispersed Generation (DG). The proper allocation of DGs in the distribution networks is a complex combinatorial optimization problem. in this paper a method based on equilibration of ending nodes voltage magnitude is presented which is simple and applicable to any distribution networks. The validity of the proposed method is verified through the application in 33 nodes distribution network.
