In the entire power system maximum power losses are occurring at distribution system side. In a Radial Distribution System (RDS), maintaining required voltage profile is a difficult task due to its rugged and irregular structure. Moreover the power demand is increasing day-by-day with reducing fossil fuel availability and also a huge environmental pollution occurs while generating electrical energy by conventional methods. Usage of tiny Distributed Energy Resources such as wind, solar PV and biomass at the load side reduces power losses and pollution to a minimum value. To improve the voltage profile DSTATCOM can be used. Optimal placement of Distributed Generator and DSTATCOM is very essential for their effective functioning in reducing power losses and improving voltage profile. This paper proposes a code in C language for finding best location of DG and DSTATCOM in a RDS by using Direct Load Flow technique for load flows and Stability Index factor for finding optimal location. This methodology is tested on IEEE-9, IEEE-15 and IEEE-33 bus RDS.
