Abstract: The optimal sizing and placement of distributed generators have recently drawn a considerable attention to itself. This paper proposes an evolutionary cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) for optimal placement of distributed generation (DG) in a distribution system. The optimal DG placement problem is formulated as a cost function of network losses, voltage profile, and DG expenses. The proposed method is validated on a 13-bus distribution system. The results show that any variation in the parameter’s weight in the objective function leads to a significant change in the prediction of the DG’s location and capacity.
