ABSTRACT
This paper presents a taxonomical review on Distributed Generation (DG) planning in the distribution power network from different power system performances such as minimization of real and reactive power loss, enhance power system load ability, enhance power system stability, enhance power system reliability, enhance power system security, enhance available power transfer capacity, enhance power system oscillations, more flexible operation and bandwidth, enhance voltage profile, reduce short circuit capacity of line, more real and reactive power support and environmental friendly (green house gases) point of view. This paper also presents the current status of DG planning in a distributed power network. This survey article is very much useful for scientific persons, industrial persons and researchers in field of DG planning in distribution power system networks.
