With the increasing rate of power consumption, many new distribution systems need to be
constructed to accommodate connecting new consumers to the power grid. On the other
hand, the increasing penetration of renewable distributed generation (DG) resources into
the distribution systems and the significance of their optimal placement in the network can
dramatically change the problem of distribution system planning and design. In this paper,
