The DG is a new member in distribution systems that enhances the system performance. The DG improves voltage profiles, reduces real power losses, release the system capacity, increases the system reliability, delay the infrastructure upgrading, and environmentally friendly compared to the traditional power sources. Achieving the aforementioned benefits requires\installing the DGs in the appropriate location with the appropriate size. Integrating DGs in\distribution systems is an optimization problem with constraints imposed by the system\planner. This optimization problem can solved by deterministic optimization techniques such as sequential quadratic programming (SQP) or heuristic optimization techniques such as\particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO is a relatively new optimization technique that\mimics the bird flocking and fish schooling. A hybrid PSO-based solution technique is developed to solve the problem at hand. The proposed technique is validated on 69-bus test\system. The results obtained clearly indicate the efficiency of the developed approach in finding the optimal location and size of DG.
