The implementation of distributed generation (DG) becomes more common while causing a challenge to maintain the voltage stability in a power system. The optimal placement of multiple DGs in a planning stage can effectively solve this problem. In many cases, the best placement has been determined by the small-signal study like the modal analysis. However, it is acceptable only if the linearization of large-scale nonlinear power system is accurate. To overcome this, this paper proposes the new optimal placement algorithm for multiple DGs based on the model-free Lyapunov exponent estimation to maintain the voltage of system stable. In other words, the individual Lyapunov exponents of all buses are firstly estimated to determine the candidates for optimal placement of DGs. Then, the maximum Lyapunov exponent for each candidate is calculated to decide which bus is the best place to improve the voltage stability of system. Several time-domain simulation studies are carried out to verify the effectiveness of proposed algorithm. In particular, its performance is compared with that of the conventional method. The results show that the optimal placement of multiple DGs determined by the proposed algorithm improves the voltage stability of system much more effectively.
