Abstract—The paper solves a distributed generations
placement problem considering loss and cost of DG as the main
objectives while power quality issues like voltage magnitudes at
different bus and harmonic distortion are maintained within
some specified limits as per IEEE standards. To study the effect
of several factors on DG placement the issues are considered
individually first. Then the same problem is solved considering
all the issues together. It has been shown that when all the issues
are considered the harmonic distortion plays a vital role in
deciding the DG locations and size. Again the harmonic
distortions are more near to the harmonic generating loads. The
shunt compensation is also included to improve the voltages to a
specified limit.
Index Terms—Distributed generations, genetic algorithm,
harmonic distortion, power quality, renewable energy.
