description This paper offers an enhanced voltage stability assessment index (VSAI) and loss minimalize condition (LMC) centered integrated planning approach. The proposed method aims at the simultaneous attainment of voltage stability, loss minimizations and various other related objectives with the employment of multiple distributed generation (DG) units, in mesh distribution systems (MDS). The approach presents two enhanced VSAI expressions based on a multiple-loops configured equivalent MDS model. The main objective of each VSAI expression is to find the weakest buses as potential candidates for single and multiple DG placements with initial optimal DG sizes for aimed objectives attainment in MDS. Later, mathematical expressions for LMC have been presented, based on equivalent MDS model. The LMC aims to achieve significant loss minimization with optimal DG sizes and attain negligible voltage difference across tie-line branches via reduction of respective loop currents. The proposed integrated VSAI-LMC based planning approach is employed with two computation variants and tested on two well-known, 33-Bus and 69-Bus, test distribution systems (TDS). The performance analysis of each TDS is conducted with two cases and respective scenarios, across various performance evaluation indicators (PEIs). The paper also offers a comparative analysis of achieved numerical outcomes of the proposed planning approach with the available research works found in the literature. The numerical results attained have better performance in comparison with the presented literature data and thus shows the effectiveness and validity of the proposed planning approach.
