This paper presents a survey on enhancement of power system performances by optimally placed distributed generations in distribution networks. Thedistribution power system performances such as minimization of real power loss, minimization of reactive power loss, improvement of voltage profile,...

This paper presents the enhancement and impacts of the system losses, voltage profile and cost by using distributed generations (DGs) of different size in distribution network. Distributed Generation (DGs) is expected to play a key role in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors of...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers could be a suitable alternative to provide reactive power support at the load centers locally and hence keep the voltages within their safe operating limits. Due to high costs of FACTS devices, their proper location in the system must be...
