Location Optimization of small-scale power plant

According to the increasing in the usage of electricity, saving energy is so important. It can be occurred by both, optimizing consumption and the increasing of production efficiency. Small scale power plant (Distributed Generation (DG)) by reducing the distance of power production and consumption, declines a large part of this industry loss that is related to the distribution. The generators also have the ability to transform into the cogeneration system; As a result, by increasing efficiency, a great saving will happen in the production side of electricity industry. The issue of this article is the determination of priority of location of building DG. In this regard by using deviation from the optimum method and Human Development Index (HDI), according to data published by the Statistical Center of Iran and the Ministry of Energy, 9 provinces in the central area of Iran were selected and evaluated with 9 indicators. The results show that among the selected provinces the priority execution of power plant is first in Tehran, and then Isfahan.
