Proper allocation of DGs in distribution network is important from all the aspects like technical, economical and environmental. In this paper, Crow search algorithm (CSA) technique has been proposed to find the optimal size and location of multiple DGs of different types to reduce the active power loss of the distribution network (DN). The proposed method has only two parameters to be tuned. The proposed method is tested on 33 bus and 69 bus test system and the obtained result is compared with IA and PSO method. The proposed method gives better results compared to existing PSO and IA methods.
