Vo is the reference voltage; V is the operating voltage; Po and
Qo are the active and reactive powers respectively consumed
at the reference voltage. and are the exponents which
determine the load characteristics. Specific and values
lead to a specific lode model. That is, = =0 for constant
power model and = =1 for constant current model whereas
the impedance model would be represented by = =2.

C. Double DG Case:In the endeavor of minimizing the RDS active losses as well
as keeping the voltage profile within limits among other
constraints imposed on the system, two DGs are to be installed
on buses 14 and 30. Table IV shows lowest power losses
results by installing two DGs at different bus combinations.
The combination of 14 and 30 buses kept the losses at
minimal at 67.38 kW and enhanced the bus voltages
considerably as shown at Table V. While the minimum
voltage was 0.9166 pu at the single DG case, the minimum
voltage increased to a 0.9704 pu in the two DGs integration.
In the double DG case the Power loss is lower than that of the
single DG case. In the single DG case the losses were 147.18
with an optimal size of 2535.41 kW; while the losses
decreased by nearly 54% for the same overall size of the two
DGs.

IV. CONCLUSION
In this paper the DG optimal No. and Size were
investigated thoroughly. It is found that by integrating the DG
into the distribution network, the real power losses were
minimized, the voltage profile was enhanced as well as several
benefits like hindering imminent upgrade for the existing
system (i.e. transformers, feeders, etc.). The study shows
that installing single DG at a heavily loaded system is not
enough for enhancing the voltage profiles. Consequently
integrating more than one DG greatly would satisfy the
equality and inequality constrains imposed on the system.
