Abstract

An electric power system generate electricity to meet demands. Distributed Generation (DG) allows
electricity to be generated in a small capacity where the customer is located. In this paper, multi-objective
functions based on the indices of system performance are formulated and used to determine the best
location. The Differential Evolution technique (DE) has been employed to calculate optimal sizing for
each location. Unity power factor DG model have been studied in this work and the problems solved
with one DG unit. IEEE 14 bus has been used as a test system.
