Distributed Generation Sources Placement in Electric Power Distribution Networks under Uncertainty

This paper presents a new multiobjective model for optimal placement of distributed generation sources in electric distribution network under load and market price uncertainties that finds out the non-dominated multiobjective solutions corresponding to the simultaneous minimization of economic cost, technical risks, and economical risk due to uncertainties. Fuzzy sets theory is used to model the uncertainties. The proposed model is solved using a specialized genetic algorithm as the optimization tool. The performance of the proposed approach is assessed and appreciated by case study on a typical distribution network.
