A novel approach to reduce the losses & maintain voltage profile in the radial distribution system

A Forward, Backward Sweeping method (FBSM) has been implemented to find out the bus voltages of radial distribution network. Comparison of minimum voltage at weak nodes for constant power, constant current and constant impedance load types are done. Optimal location with DG has been found using analytical approach to improve the voltage profile. The main theme of this work is voltage profile improvement rather than voltages stability improvement.
