Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) is gaining in importance due to the growing demand for electrical energy and the key role it plays in reducing actual energy losses, lowering operating costs and improving voltage stability. In this paper, we propose to inject distributed power generation into a distribution system while minimizing active energy losses. This injection should be done at a grid node (which is a point where energy can be injected into or recovered from the grid) that will be considered the optimal node when total active losses in the radial distribution system are minimal. The focus is on meeting energy demand using renewable energy sources. The main criterion is the minimization of active energy losses during injection. The method used is the algorithm of bee colony (ABC) associated with Newtonian energy flow transfer equations. The method has been implemented in MATLAB for optimal node search in IEEE 14, 33 and 57 nodes networks. The active energy loss results of this hybrid algorithm were compared with the results of previous searches. This comparison shows that the proposed algorithm allows to have reduced losses with the power injected that we have found.

Summary
Driven by a favorable context (political will, economic interest, etc.), decentralized generation is developing in many countries. In order to meet the energy demand in these areas, it is necessary to inject the energy produced into the existing grid. Injecting decentralized energy such as PV into an electrical grid has the advantage of reducing the load supplied by the source stations and under specific conditions, a reduction in Joule losses, a possible improvement of the voltage profile, and the reliability of the grid [1] [2]
