چکیده
This paper presents a powerful approach to find the optimal size and location of distributed generation units in a distribution system using Genetic Optimization algorithm (GA). The total active and reactive power losses are minimized and voltage profile is improved. GA fitness function is introduced including the active power losses, reactive power losses and the cumulative voltage deviation variables with selecting weight of each variable. GA fitness function is subjected to Voltage Constraints, active and reactive power losses constraints and DG size constraint.
