GRISALES, Luis Femado; RESTREPO CUESTAS, Bonie Johana  and  JARAMILLO***, Fredy Esteban. Location and sizing of distributed generation: a review. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2017, vol.27, n.2, pp.157-176. ISSN 0124-8170.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rcin.2344.

Distributed generation (DG) is presented as a support to supply the demand of the system in a localized way, also allowing small-scale generation with renewable energy sources. As a main contribution, this document presents several considerations to be taken into account when analyzing, modeling and solving the problem of location and dimensioning of DG in the distribution grid. Initially, the technical aspects of the network are outlined as well the load modeling, and DG impacts; followed by the formulation of the mathematical model of the problem, main solution techniques, methodologies applied in the literature. Finally, it shows future research in this field of study All the above to improve the operating conditions of the network. Within the review of the papers presented by the different authors, it was found that a large part of the studies focus on the technical aspects, without taking into account the costs associated with the integration of DG, nor the economic incentives that can Be susceptible to this type of projects, which are of vital importance in assessing the feasibility of the integration proposal.

Keywords : Distributed generation; distribution system; optimization techniques; voltage profiles; power losses; metaheuristic techniques.
