Abstract
A new method of reducing active power losses and voltage profile improvement in distribution networks by simultaneous placement of optimally sized Distributed Generation (DGs) is proposed in this paper. A loss sensitivity factor is mainly considered for DG placement in the distribution network for loss reduction and voltage profile improvement. This Loss Sensitivity Index method is tested in different cases with the combination of network reconfiguration and DGs. All cases are compared to identify the superiority of the proposed method. This method is tested to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the IEEE 33 Bus Radial Distributed System in ETAP software.

Important Announcements

All the authors, conference coordinators, conveners, and guest editors kindly check their articles' originality before submitting them to IJCERT. If any material is found to be duplicate submission or sent to other journals when the content is in the process with IJCERT, fabricated data, cut and paste (plagiarized), at any stage of processing of material, IJCERT is bound to take the following actions.
1. Rejection of the article.
2. The author will be blocked for future communication with IJCERT if duplicate articles are submitted.
3. A letter regarding this will be posted to the Principal/Director of the Institution where the study was conducted.
4. A List of blacklisted authors will be shared among the Chief Editors of other prestigious Journals
We have been screening articles for plagiarism with a world-renowned tool: Turnitin However, it is only rejected if found plagiarized. This more stern action is being taken because of the illegal behavior of a handful of authors who have been involved in ethical misconduct. The Screening and making a decision on such articles costs colossal time and resources for the journal. It directly delays the process of genuine materials.
