A Life Cycle Model for Optimal DG Placement on Distribution Networks to Reduce Active Losses and Investment Costs

This paper presents a new method named “Life cycle model” for optimal placement of Distributed Generators in a distribution network. The impact of DG at the distribution level is investigated with an emphasis on active power losses and allocation for minimizing the cost of losses and capacity investment costs simultaneously. An application of the proposed method for a distribution network is presented.
