The distribution of electricity has become a challenge as there are losses associated with its distribution and transmission. In reducing such losses employment of Distributed Generation units in the transmission network can benefit greatly. Thus, the concern is on the optimal placement of Distributed Generation units that can provide maximum benefits and optimize several conflicting attributes. In this paper, the emphasis is laid on determining an optimal location for the placement of a Distributed Generation unit under conflicting attributes such as losses, real and reactive power, and voltages at different buses. For this purpose, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to best Solution a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making technique, and Fuzzy TOPSIS technique have been employed for determining the optimal placement of 10 MW Distributed Generation unit at the IEEE 20 Bus System. The results obtained can significantly benefit in reducing losses and greatly help in economical perspective as well.
