| Abstract | ||
| Electric utilities have historically satisfied customer demand by generating electricity centrally and distributing it through an extensive transmission and distribution network. As demand increases, the utility generates more electricity. But if the capacity of the generation, transmission, or distribution systems is constrained, the traditional utility response to these constraints is to build new facilities. An alternative approach under consideration by utilities is to satisfy demand locally and incrementally by investing in distributed generation. Distributed generation facilities are strategically sited to deliver electricity where it is needed. This can relieve capacity constraints on the generation, transmission, and distribution systems and represents a prompt solution until it is possible to build new facilities. This paper presents an algorithm based on distribution power flow methodology to determine the near optimal, with respect to system losses, size and location of these units on the power grid. The algorithm is implemented on a tested radial feeder. The results show the importance of the selection for minimizing losses and maximizing capacity savings | ||
