Optimization Techniques in PV-Wind based Distribution Generation- A Brief Review

Distributed Generation (DG) are playing a vital role and had achieved a lot of attention due to their greater impact on various distribution systems. This approach encourages small scale technologies to produce electricity to the need at consumer end by utilizing renewable energy sources. Power quality and reliability of distributed power can be attained by proper placing of Distributed Generators (DG) at the appropriate location. Optimization tools were predominantly increasing their importance in the integration of distributed generation. This paper proposes various reviews on recent optimization techniques being used over the years to the problem solving and sizing of DG units. In contrast, this paper analyses the economical, technological, environmental, etc., which are rapidly growing interest in the integration of distributed generation by overcoming all the challenges. At last, it presents several optimization techniques of the integration of DG from renewable energy sources.
