Abstract

The integration of distributed generation (DG) with the distribution networks is a challenging task. The size and site of the DG will have an effect on the voltages and operations of the distribution networks in the future. The advantages that DG brings to the system can be best utilized if these resources have beeo properly allocated in the system. This paper presents a new methodology to find the optimal size and location of the DG to improve the voltage stability of the system using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. Validation of the methodology is done using the IEEE 13 node distribution feeder. The results obtained from the power flow analysis and the optimization of size and location are presented.
