This paper highlights some specific aspects concerning the computational techniques for performing distribution system loss allocation including the impact of the distributed generation. The aspects addressed include the approximations related to the nearly-quadratic dependence of the total losses on the load power and the treatment of the voltage-controllable local generation. Examples showing the time evolution of the loss allocation coefficients with variable load and generation patterns are provided
