A review on distributed generation planning

This paper presents a review on distributed generation planning in the distribution power system networks from different power system performances such as minimization of real and reactive power loss of the system, enhance power system loadability of the system, enhance power system stability of the system, enhance power system reliability of the system, enhance power system security of the system, available power transfer capacity of the system, enhance power system oscillations of the system, more flexible operation and bandwidth of the system, enhance voltage profile of the system buses, reduce short circuit capacity of the transmission line, more real and reactive power support and environmental friendly (green house gases) viewpoints. This paper also presents the current status of distributed generation planning in a distributed power system networks from different power system performance viewpoints. This survey article is very much useful for scientific persons, industrial persons and researchers in field of distributed generation planning in distribution power system networks.
