Definition

A planning and optimization technique that determines the optimal locations (siting) and capacities (sizing) of distributed generation and storage units across a distribution network to satisfy technical constraints (voltage limits, thermal ratings, protection), economic objectives (investment and operating cost) and grid‑integration goals (hosting capacity, reliability, congestion relief).
