DG Planning with Amalgamation of Operational and Reliability Considerations
Abstract Distributed Generation has been playing a vital role in dealing issues related to distribution systems. This paper presents an approach which provides policy maker with a set of solutions for DG placement to optimize reliability and real power loss of the system. Optimal location of a Distributed Generator is evaluated based on performance indices derived for reliability index and real power loss. The proposed approach is applied on a 15 bus radial distribution system and a 18 bus radial distribution system with conventional and wind distributed generators individually.
