The demand of electricity is soaring rapidly. Distributed genera-
tion (DG) is one of the most suitable alternatives to fulfill this swelling
demand of energy. DG is a small scale generation which is directly in-
stalled in the distribution network or at load centre. Optimal allocation
of DG is a vital factor in improving the voltage profile of the system and
in reduction of total power losses. In this article, a detailed study of three
different methods for DG allocation and sizing has been discussed. The
first method is based on Newton Raphson load flow based technique to
deduce the optimal location of DG in two different IEEE bus systems in
MATLAB software. The next methodology is based on particle swarm
optimization (PSO) technique where a multi-objective function is being
minimized. The objective function has been modified and PSO has been
implemented to attain optimal size and location of DG unit. The third
method considered is based on human opinion dynamics evolution-
ary multi-objective optimization technique which is used to obtain the
best possible size and location of DG unit in IEEE 14 and IEEE 30 bus
systems. The human opinion dynamics method shows superiority in
minimizing the size and location muti-objective function, over the other
methods considered herein.
