OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION FOR LOSS REDUCTION IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent times,the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapid ly increased. Distributed generations (DGs) play an important role in distribution networks. Am ong many of their merits,loss reduction and voltage profile improvement can be the salient spec ifications of Distributed generations (DG). Non-optimal locations and non-optimal sizes of Dist ributed generations (DG) units may lead to increase losses,together with bad effect on voltag e profile. Proper location of Distributed generations (DGs) in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. Distributed generation (DG) units reduce electric p ower losses and hence improve reliability and voltage profile. Determination of appropriate size and location of Distributed generation (DG) is important to maximize overall system efficiency. In this project,Newton raphson method optimization technique has been presented to determ ine the appropriate size and proper allocation of Distributed generation (DG) in a dist ribution network.So,this project focus towards,at determining optimal DG allocation and s izing as well as analyzing the impact of Distributed generation (DG) in an electric power sy stem in terms of voltage profile improvement and line loss reduction
