Abstract

Distributed Generators (DGs) play an important role to balance load requirements, power loss and voltage drop in power systems. Researchers normally perform load flow analysis to conclude the system under study to place DG. The inappropriate placement of DG would put the system operations at risk. This paper intends to create an interest among Engineering students about load flow studies to incorporate DG. Also it highlights about the characteristics of DG, challenges faced to size and sit DGs in distribution networks.

Keywords

Distributed Generators(DG), loss minimization, Newton-Raphson method, load flow study, optimal placement.
