Abstract

This paper presents an efficient analytical technique to identify the optimal location and sizing of the distributed generation (DG) and shunt capacitor (SC) into a radial distribution system (RDS). The main objective of allocating DG and SC is to reduce the power losses which leads to improve the overall voltage profile with considering equality and inequality constraints. The DGs and SCs are placed at the bus that gives minimum power loss, while the optimal size is determined using the analytical technique. Moreover, a load variation with 50%, 100%, and 150% respected to the base case is studied to show the efficiency of proposed algorithm. Overall case studies are carried out using IEEE 69-bus RDS and the obtained results are compared with other optimization techniques used in the same manner.
