Distribution Generation is expected to become more important in future generation system. In distribution system, due to load uncertainties the load exceeds the generating capacity which leads to power loss and unreliable operation of the system. To overcome this problem DG units are incorporated into the distribution system to meet the excess demand which results in power loss minimization, improvement of voltage profile, power quality improvement, reliable operation, etc., clustering techniques are proposed in this paper for optimal placement of DG. Multi DG units have to be placed to optimize the overall performance resulting in technical and economic benefits due to DG installation. In this paper IEEE standard 33 bus radial distribution test system is considered to indicate the efficacy of the proposed hierarchical and k-means algorithms in DG allocation.
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.
