abstract = "Electrical power loss and low-voltage profile represent loss of revenue to power utility providers as well as electricity end users. Utility providers therefore need to take steps towards minimizing power losses and ensure appreciable bus voltage at the load ends. There are various methods for improving the performance of a power network. However, the objective of this work is to determine optimal location of Distributed Generators (DGs) based on power loss index and voltage stability index, and this was accomplished using the Power System Analysis Tool (PSAT). The optimal location of DG in a radial distribution network based on a combination of voltage stability and power loss index produces significantly reduced power loss and improved voltage profile. It is therefore a suitable method for improving the performance of radial distribution networks.",
