Distributed generation (DG) is an important element to be considered in distribution
planning since it plays a major role in stability and power quality improvement. This paper
presents a new method for determining optimal sizing and placement of DG in a distribution
system. A multi-objective function is formed to minimize the total losses, average total
voltage harmonic distortion, and voltage deviation in the distribution system. The improved
gravitational search algorithm (IGSA) is proposed as an optimization techniques and its …
