This article presents the search, organization and analysis of the documentation, articles from magazines and conferences related to the optimization techniques applied in the planning of electrical distribution networks. The objective of this research is to review the state of the art of the significant aspects of the insertion of DG in the distribution system, the objectives and restrictions and how these affect the state of electrical networks. The information was acquired from available and recognized sources in the field of electrical engineering. The analysis of the publications was made chronologically from the beginnings to the current trends in the planning of electrical distribution networks; In addition, technical aspects were considered to classify the content, which allowed the information to be better extracted. The most relevant result was obtained that the most used techniques for solving the ODGP problem are the genetic algorithm and various heuristic algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
