5 Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generation and Capacitor Banks in Distribution Systems
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 Distributed Generation Units Placement
Installation and integration of DGs in distribution systems can provide several technical, economic, and environmental benefits. The technical benefits are power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, and power quality enhancement [48]. The environmental benefits are the reduction of pollution and emission levels in the system. The economic benefits aim to reduce the operational costs as much as possible and to increase the profits of all system participants.
DG placement has been studied using several techniques. The authors in [49] studied the ...
