• ANALYZING THE EFFECT OF NUMBER AND POWER FACTOR OF DG ON OPTIMAL ALLOCATION FOR MINIMAL POWER LOSS IN RDS

  Teng, J. H

  The integration of Distributed Generators (DG) into Radial Distribution Systems (RDS) has
  emerged as a promising solution for minimizing power losses and enhancing the voltage profile in power
  systems. This paper investigates the effect of varying the number and power factor of DG on its
