Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generator in Distribution System Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents, the application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to find optimal location and size of Distributed Generator (DG) for minimizing the power distribution loss and enhance the voltage profile. In this context, the ABC optimization algorithm is applied to a standard 14-bus and 57- bus system. The obtained results using single and multiple DGs are presented.
