Abstract
Owing to the fast growth of electricity consumption,
Distributed Generation (DGs) plays an important role
in distribution network due to their advantages. This
paper presents a novel multi-objective optimization
technique called Moth Flame (MFO) for determining
the optimal location and size of Distribution
Generation units (DGs) in distribution systems. Due to
the best size and placement of DGs installation the
voltage profile is improved, minimize the system loss
and reduce the investment cost of distributed
generation units is also achieved. In this paper the
proposed technique will be implemented on two
benchmark systems, the IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 39
using MATLAB simulation program. The simulated
results prove the effectiveness and accuracy of the
proposed technique compared to other optimization
technique Harmony Search (HS).
