Allocation Of DG Based on Hourly Load Curve

Many reasons such as, restructuring of the electrical industry, has brought about the impetus for using Distributed Generation (DG). Installing DG units in distribution network may result in positive impacts such as, loss reduction and negative impacts such as, the increase in the short-circuit level. These impacts depend on the exploitation methods, installation place and the capacity of these resources. This paper proposes a method to identify the optimal location of DG according to hourly load curve and in order to improve voltage profile, reduce power loss and reduceECOST of the network. Since these parameters are studies simultaneously, the voltage profile and power losses are turned into money. The proposed method is tested on bus 2 of RTBS Province and simulation results are presented
