Abstract

An algorithm is presented for the allocation and sizing of generators in radial distribution networks in order to maximize the reduction on the load supply costs. In addition, it is given the operational schedule for each installed generator for all feeder load levels. The evolutionary programming is used as the optimization technique. The applicability of the method was evaluated using a feeder with high losses index and the proposed allocation provided a considerable reduction on total costs
