Abstract

This paper proposes a rapid analytical method to determine the locations and sizes of multiple distributed generations (DGs) inside a distribution network. DGs locations are chosen with the aim of enhancing voltage stability and their sizes are picked so as to minimize system power losses. To evaluate the effect of the DG's nature on the system's performance, the proposed DG allocation method is tested for all DG types and the impact of the combination of different types of DGs is equally investigated, which offers a guide to designing an optimal hybrid network.
