In this book, a method based on a sensitivity analysis and quadratic curve-fitting technique for power loss reduction in a low-voltage distribution area is proposed. For determining the optimum generation capacity of multiple DG units, a new methodology based on an unbalanced multi-phase optimal power flow (UM-OPF) is also presented. During the formulation of the UM-OPF, an optimisation algorithm is developed in Matlab and the unbalanced multi-phase power flow is solved using the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) software OpenDSS. To ensure a global minimum loss profile, adaptive...
