Transmission networks are no longer accountable solely for voltage security issues in distribution networks with penetration of DGs. The reactive power support from the DG sources greatly varies with the type of DG units and may potentially distress the larger portion of the network from the voltage stability aspects. This paper presents the analysis for the selection of the best type of DG unit among different categories and its optimal location that can enhance the static security of distribution network with simultaneous improvement in voltage profile. Key words: Static Security Analysis (SSA), Static Security Index (SSI), DG, PF, Fast Approach, Line over Load Index (LOI) & Real Power Loss Reduction. Cite this Article: Gopala Reddy K., Dr. T.
