Abstract
In this work, an efficient analytical method is proposed for optimally allocating distributed generations (DGs) in electrical distribution systems to minimize power losses. The proposed analytical method can be employed for obtaining the optimal combination of different DG types in a distribution system for loss minimization. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated using two test systems with different configurations by comparing with the exact optimal solution obtained from the exhaustive optimal power flow (OPF) algorithm. The calculated results and the comprehensive comparisons with existing methods prove the superiority of the proposed method in terms of accuracy and calculation speed. The proposed loss minimization method can be a useful tool for any general DG allocation problem since it provides effective and fast loss evaluation taking into account other benefits. © 2015 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
