Abstract

Distributed generation (DG) sources are predicated to play major
role in distribution systems due to the demand growth for electrical
energy. Location and sizing of DG sources found to be important on the
system losses and voltage stability in a distribution network. This article
proposes, an approach to determine the optimal sizing of multiple distributed generators in radial distribution system at unspecified power
factor considering different load models. It is shown that load models
can significantly affect the optimal sizing of DG units in radial distribution systems. The prior objective is to minimize network power losses
hence to improve the voltage profile. Various optimization techniques
are applied on the objective function. A detailed performance analysis is
carried out on 38-bus radial distribution systems to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques. Performing multiple power flow
analysis on 38-bus system, the effect of DG sources on the most sensitive
buses to voltage collapse is also carried out.
