Abstract :
In this paper, a method for placement of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution networks has been presented. This method is based on the analysis of power flow continuation and determination of most sensitive buses to voltage collapse. This method is executed on a typical 34-bus test system and yields efficiency in improvement of voltage profile and reduction of power losses; it also may permit an increase in power transfer capacity, maximum loading, and voltage stability margin.
