Abstract

This research seeks to mitigate electrical power loss on the Imo distribution network using optimally placed distributed generation. The case study network was characterized using load flow analysis which was carried out via simulation studies. Having characterized the network, a Simulink model of the network was developed using PSAT/Simulink software. From the result, it was seen that 3 Distributed generators (DG), 2 DG, and 1 DG recorded 0.549MW, 0.719MW, and 1.23MW respectively. This was against 9.2MW recorded with a case of no DG connection. The result shows that the 3 DG connection gave the least total real power loss in the test network
