Abstract

In the recent years, due to the economic and environmental requirements, the use of distributed generations (DGs) has increased. If DGs have the optimal size and are located at the optimal locations, they are capable of enhancing the voltage profile and reducing the power loss. This paper proposes a new approach to obtain the optimal location and size of DGs. To this end, exchange market algorithm (EMA) is offered to find the optimal size and location of DGs subject to minimizing loss, increasing voltage profile, and improving voltage stability in the distribution systems. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified on both 33- and 69-bus IEEE standard systems.
