This paper presents the optimal multiple distributed generations (MDGs) installation for improving the voltage profile and minimizing power losses of distribution system using the integrated monte-carlo evolutionary programming (EP). EP was used as the optimization technique while monte carlo simulation is used to find the random number of locations of MDGs. This involved the testing of the proposed technique on IEEE 69-bus distribution test system. It is found that the proposed approach successfully solved the MDGs installation problem by reducing the power losses and improving the minimum voltage of the distribution system.

This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimal location and sizing of multiple distributed generation (DG) for loss minimization. The study is implemented on a 33-bus radial distribution system to optimally allocate different numbers of DGs through the minimization of total active power losses and voltage deviation at power constraints of 0 – 2 MW and 0 – 3 MW respectively. The study proposed a PQ model of DG and Direct Load Flow (DLF) technique that uses Bus Incidence to Branch current (BIBC) and Branch Current to Bus Voltage (BCBV) matrices. The result obtained a minimum base case voltage level of 0.9898 p.u at bus 18 with variations of voltage improvements at other buses after single and multiple DG allocations in the system. Besides, the total power loss before DG allocation is observed as 0.2243 MW, and total power loss after DG allocation was determined based on the power constraints. Various optimal locations were seen depending on the power limits of different DG sizes. The results have shown that the impact of optimal allocation and sizing of three DG is more advantageous concerning voltage improvement, reduction of the voltage deviation and also total power loss in the distribution system. The results obtained in the 0 – 2 MW power limit is consistent to the 0 – 3 MW power limits regarding the influence of allocating DG to the network and minimization of total power losses.

A Radial Distribution network is important in power system area because of its simple design and reduced cost. Reduction of system losses and improvement of voltage profile is one of the key aspects in power system operation. Distributed generators are beneficial in reducing losses effectively in distribution systems as compared to other methods of loss reduction. Sizing and location of DG sources places an important role in reducing losses in distribution network. Four types of DG are considered in this paper with one DG installed for minimize the total real and reactive power losses. The objective of this methodology is to calculate size and to identify the corresponding optimum location for DG placement for minimizing the total real and reactive power losses and to improve voltage profile   in primary distribution system. It can obtain maximum loss reduction for each of four types of optimally placed DGs. Optimal sizing of Distributed Generation can be calculated using exact loss formula and an efficient approach is used to determine the optimum location for Distributed Generation Placement.  To demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach 36-bus radial distribution system in Belin Substation in Myanmar was tested and validated with different sizes and the result was discussed.

<p><span>With the widespread of using distributed generation, the connection of DGs in the distribution system causes miscoordination between protective devices. This paper introduces the problems associated with recloser fuse miscoordination (RFM) in the presence of single and multiple DG in a radial distribution system. Two Multi objective optimization problems are presented. The first is based on technical impacts to determine the optimal size and location of DG considering system power loss reduction and enhancement the voltage profile with a certain constraints and the second is used for minimizing the operating time of all fuses and recloser with obtaining the optimum settings of fuse recloser coordination characteristics.

The reliability of distribution network can be improved with the penetration of small scale distributed generation (DG) unit to the distribution grid. Nevertheless, the location and sizing of the DG in the distribution network have always become a topic of debate. This problem arises as different capacity of DG at various location can affect the performance of the entire system. The main objective of this study is to recommend a suitable size of DG to be placed at the most appropriate location for better voltage profile and minimum power loss. Therefore, this paper presents an analytical approach with a fixed DG step size of 500 kW up to 4500 kW DG to analyses the effect of a single P-type DG in IEEE 33 bus system with consideration of system power loss and voltage profile. Four scenarios have been selected for discussions where Scenario 1: 3500 kW DG placed at node 3; Scenario 2: 2500 kW DG placed at node 6; Scenario 3: 1000 kW DG placed at node 18 and Scenario 4: 3000 kW DG placed at node 7. Results show that all the four scenarios are able to reduce the power loss and improve the voltage profile however Scenario 4 has better performance where it complies with minimum voltage requirement and minimizing the system power loss.

As the rapid development of photovoltaic (PV) technology in recent years with the growth of electricity demand, integration of photovoltaic distributed generation (PVDG) to the distribution system is emerging to fulfil the demand. There are benefits and drawbacks to the distribution system due to the penetration of PVDG. This paper discussed and investigated the impacts of PVDG location and size on distribution power systems. The medium voltage distribution network is connected to the grid with the load being supplied by PVDG. Load flow and short circuit calculation are analyzed by using DigSILENT Power Factory Software. Comparisons have been made between the typical distribution system and the distribution system with the penetration of PVDG. Impacts in which PVDG location and size integrates with distribution system are investigated with the results given from the load flow and short circuit analysis. The results indicate positive impacts on the system interconnected with PVDG such as improving voltage profile, reducing power losses, releasing transmission and distribution grid capacity. It also shows that optimal locations and sizes of DGs are needed to minimize the system’s power losses. On the other hand, it shows that PVDG interconnection to the system can cause reverse power flow at improper DG size and location and increases short circuit level.

The novelty of the method proposed in this paper is the simple and effective way of sizing and siting of DG in a distribution system by using two-port Z-bus parameters. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the results with already published methods. Comparative study presented has shown that the proposed method leads existing methods in terms of its simplicity, undemanding calculation procedures, and less computational efforts and so does the time. The method is implemented on IEEE 69-bus test radial distribution system and results show significant reduction in distribution power losses with improved voltage profile of the system.

Distributed generation system penetration in the existing distribution system is done for minimizing the losses and improving the voltage profile. There are total five types of distributed generation systems exist based on their power delivery like distributed generation system injecting real and reactive power, supplying real power only, supplying reactive power only, absorbing reactive power only , supplying real power and absorbing reactive power. All these five types of distributed generation systems have different penetration effects on the radial distribution system. We get different voltage profiles and power losses for different types of distributed generation systems. The testing of these five types of distributed generation systems will be done on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. For computing, the line parameters and power losses of the above testing system the forward-backward sweep load flow method will be applied
