This article presents a methodology for optimal placement of DG
units in distribution networks to guarantee the enhancement of voltage
profile, maximize loadability and reduce distribution system losses.
The methodology aims to find the configuration, among a set of system components, which meets the desired system reliability requirements, taking into account the stability limits. Results shown in the
article indicate that the proposed formulations can be used to determine which are the best buses, where the addition of small distributed
generator units can greatly enhance the voltage stability of the whole
system and improve power transfer capability by reducing the system
power losses. The proposed methodology is tested and compared with
the existing distribution system.
