Abstract: Distributed generation(DG) is characterized by low investment, flexible installation, strong policy support and easy government approval. The development of distributed generations is impacted less by the government policy and become market-oriented, it is therefore possible to predict the future DG layout. The DG layout needs to consider multiple factors, including the resources conditions, project economy, and power grid conditions. In order to accurately predict the future DG layout for every province and provide guidance for the scientific planning, a prediction method for DG layout is proposed in this paper based on multi-factor weights optimization, in which a variety of factors are considered and the historical data are used to determine the weights of the factors by optimization. The method, being comprehensive in considering influence factors, accurate in determining the factor weights and easy in program coding, can predict DG layout in the target year based on the multiple factors. The case study of PV DG shows that the Central-east China region will be the key area for the DG development.

Key words: distributed generation layout, influence factor, weight optimization, power grid condition
