Abstract This paper investigates the performance of a radial system while installing a Distributed Generator (DG) in existing Distribution Network (DN). The investigation has been performed with various types of DG units for different topologies of the DN. The present work uses a Voltage Stability Index (VSI) for identifying the location for installing a DG in the DN. A multi-objective framework is proposed to evaluate the size of the DG to be installed by reducing power loss and deviation in bus voltage. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the size of DG. The proposed method has been tested with different types of DG units on standard systems (IEEE-33 bus and IEEE-69) with different radial topologies of DN.

The paper presents an approach on voltage stability analysis of distribution networks for loads of different types. A voltage stability index is proposed for identifying the node, which is most sensitive to voltage collapse. It is shown that the node, at which the value of voltage stability index is maximum, is more sensitive to voltage collapse. For the purpose of voltage stability analysis, constant power, constant current, constant impedance and composite load modeling are considered. Distributed generation can be integrated into distribution systems to meet the increasing load demand. It is seen that with the insertion of distributed generator (DG), load capability limit of the feeder has increased for all types of loads. By using this voltage stability index, one can measure the level of voltage stability of radial distribution systems and thereby appropriate action may be taken if the index indicates a poor level of stability. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through two examples.
