Abstract
Optimal placement of Distributed Generation (DG) is an important activity for distribution network operator to operate the network with more optimal in terms of real power losses (RPL). In this paper, a meta-heuristic algorithm called firefly algorithm has been used find optimal location and size of DG units based on RPL. The proposed approach is implemented on IEEE 15 bus and PG & E 69 bus distribution systems in MATLAB environment. Based on simulation results, it has been observed that firefly algorithm is performing well to identify optimal location and size with minimum RPL.
