The continuous growth of electricity demand has presented a new challenge for power
system utilities in preserving the system efficiency. Thus, Distributed Generation (DG) has
attracted a lot of interest since it provides clean, reliable and cost-effective power supply.
However, DG type, location and size should be properly chosen. To this end, this paper
presents a DG placement and sizing method regarding system losses reduction, voltage
magnitude and stability enhancement. The system weakest buses were selected for DG …

Due to the evolution of interconnected power systems, the loss reduction in distribution
systems has become a subject of major concern. Integration of distributed generation units
which are based on renewable energy, provide potential benefits to conventional
distribution systems while considering environmental impact. Practice of insertion of DG
units in the distribution network system has increased drastically in the recent years because
of multidimensional advantages of DG units. It includes the minimization of power loss in …
