DG placement may increase system losses, network capital and operating costs. Which is important to find the size and location of distributed generation, inorder to minimize line losses of power system. This paper uses the Maximum Power Stability Index (MPSI) which is derived from the maximum power transfer theorem. The MPSI is employed as an objective to determine the optimal DG locations. The idea of maximum power transfer is to maximize the amount of active power that can be delivered to…

Table 2 shows that increasing performance decreases the probability of turnover, which is consistent with theory and literature. Bigger companies tend to have a higher probability of turnover. Higher power distance index is correlated with lower probability of turnover, meaning CEO is more secure and is being challenged less. Long Term Orientation leads to a lower probability of turnover. Having a long term orientation decreases as it gives CEO more time to improve her performance and makes…
