Abstract - This paper investigated an optimal allocation
and sizing of distributed generation (DG) comprehensively
using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The
objective function of thisstudyistominimizevoltagedeviation
(VD) and total power loss in a radial distributionsystem. A33-
bus radial network is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of
the proposed algorithm. The result shows the weakest voltage
level occurs at bus 18 with 0.8981pu. However, with the
allocation of 3 DGs, the percentagevoltageperformanceyields
a maximum of 20.19% at bus 22, followed by 19.44% and
17.71% at bus 2 and bus 21 respectively. Thus, bus 19 has 0%
voltage performance as expected where it has minimum
voltage deviation. The PSO results also indicate the optimal
allocation of DG units at bus 18, 14 and 17 with corresponding
DG sizes of 1.7154MW, 0.1908MW and 1.6159MW. The
analysis shows 89.83% reduction of total power loss in the
distribution system. Finally, the algorithm has achieved its
objectives by using Type I DG and demonstrates that PSO is an
effective method for solving problems concerning an optimal
sizing and locating of DG for minimizingvoltage deviation and
total power loss in the distribution system.

1. INTRODUCTION
The complexity of power system makes its operation very
complicated on considering a high demand for electricity
supply and load density. The primary cause ofuncertainty in
power system planning is the load demand which is
originated due to the variety of electricity supply need from
a different class of customers [1]. In such circumstances,
there is usually voltage profile degradation, and the voltage
profile of a distribution system get reduced as it gets away
from the sub-station [2]. Thus, this necessitated delivering
electrical power over long transmissionanddistributionline
to meet the ever increase of energy demand [3, 4]. Many
conventional ways of electricity generation use primary
sources of energy that are non-renewable and as such their
exhaustiveness in nature. This calls for theuseof distributed
generation (DG) and the use ofDGtechnology.DGsystem isa
part of smart grid concept which is currently forming the
backbone of a modern distribution system. The DG can,
however, be renewable energy source (RES) like
photovoltaic, wind turbines, small hydro, biomass etc. or
fossil fuel based sourcessuchasinternal combustion engines
(IC), combustion turbines and fuel cells [5].
Several studies provide benefits of DG in terms of their
integrating and modular nature in a competitive electricity
market environment. These benefits include power loss
reduction [1, 6-11], voltage profile improvement [1, 4, 6, 8,
9], reliability [1, 6-8, 11-13], short lead time and low
investment risk [14], relieved transmission and distribution
congestion [7], peak demand loss reduction [4], energy loss
reduction [4], frequency improvement [7], power factorand
stability improvement [4], increase the distributioncapacity
[8], reduced emissions of pollutants [7, 13] in a distribution
system. The contributions to achieving solutions for
optimization problems of optimal allocation of DG are
reviewed in the following item.
1.1 Literature Review
There are several methods proposed in solving an
optimization problem in terms of optimal locationandsizing
of DG, which can either be conventional or stochastic search
algorithms. Example of the traditional technique includes
analytical way by exact loss formula [15], a study devoid of
bus impedance matrix [16], analysis based on load
concentration factor [17], Power Voltage Sensitivity
Constant method [18], etc. It is evident from the literature
[19] that the conventional orclassical methodofanalysishas
the disadvantage of finding the optimal solution for the
nonlinear optimization problems. DG allocation is a
nonlinear optimization problem where traditional
optimization techniques are not appropriate for solving.
Additional issue is the consideration of a criterion to decide
whether a local solution is also a global solution. The advent
of stochastic search algorithms has provided alternative
approaches for solving optimal DG allocation problems.
These population-based techniques exterminatemostofthe
difficulties of classical methods. Many of these stochastic
search algorithms have already been developed and
successfully implemented to solve optimal DG placement
problems [20].
Appropriate sizing and allocating of DG will reducetotal loss
and increase the overall performance of the distribution
system. However, improper DG placement and sizing may
affect the DG’s benefits negatively such as an increase in
system power losses and costs [1, 3, 21-23],whichcaneither
be in a steady state or dynamic form [24]. Thus, the
allocation of DG unit in a best place and preferable size in
distribution systems are categorized as a complex
combinatorial optimization problem [25]. Previous studies
have reported different optimization techniques to solve
optimal allocation and sizing of DG units for different DGs’

issues. For instance, an Adaptive Quantum-inspired
Evolutionary Algorithm (AQiEA) [21],Feasibility-Preserving
Evolutionary Optimization [6], Genetic Algorithm (GA) [4,
26], Dragonfly algorithm [7], Firefly algorithm [27], Chaotic
stochastic fractal search algorithm [28], Crow Search
Algorithm [29], Nature Inspired Algorithms [30], Particle
Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm [31, 32], artificial
immune system (AIS) [33], Multi-objective Evolutionary
Algorithm with Tables (MEAT) [34], Ant Lion Optimization
algorithm (ALOA) [35], Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping
optimization Algorithm (MSFLA) [36], bacterial foraging
optimization [37], Bat-inspired algorithm [38], Social
Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (SLPSO) algorithm
[39], Bat-inspired algorithm [40], Chaotic Artificial Bee
Colony (CABC) algorithm [41], Cuckoo Search Algorithm
(CSA) [42], Differential Evolution (DE) [43], Evolutionary
Programming (EP) [44], and Gravitational SearchAlgorithm
(GSA) [23].
However, the algorithms mentioned above have examined
different test cases with different types of DG units for the
objective function. Type I to type IV DGs are identified by
researchers in [3, 8, 11, 14, 45-47] where in type I - the DG
inject active power and operates at unity power factor; type
II – the DG injects reactive power; type III – the DG injects
both kW and kVAr such as synchronous machines, and type
IV – the DG consume reactive power but injecting active
power like in induction generators, respectively.
This paper utilizes the PSO technique to obtain the optimal
size and location of three DGs in a distribution network with
objective function of improving voltage profile, minimizing
voltage deviation and reducing total power loss of a
distribution system.
2. PROBLEM FORMULATION
One of the primary emphasisconcerning a DGplacementand
sizing is to minimize voltage deviation and also reduce the
active power loss.However, optimal solutionsmayfacesome
technical and geographical issues. An alternative solution is
to find the optimal DG location and the corresponding
minimum size required to achieve a certain planned power
loss [48]. The distribution system Power losses have always
been an essential issue due to the energy efficiency and the
costs for electricity supplies [40].
2.1 Objective function
The objective of the optimal size and location of DG problem
using PSO is to increase voltage profile and minimize the
total active power loss of the distribution system subject to
constraints.
2.1.1 Power loss minimization
(1)
Where i is the branch number, n total number of branches
and Ii is the ith active current.
2.1.2 Voltage Deviation (VD)
The objective function to improve voltage profile involves
computation of voltage deviations as in Equation 1.
(2)
2.1.3 Percentage voltage performance (PVP)
This is the ratio of the difference between VD at base and VD
at DG to VD at base and is given by equation 2.

2.1.4 Constraints
Bus Voltage Limits: System’s voltage limitsareconsidered to
be +5% of the nominal voltage value, (Vi).
0.95  Vi  1.05 (4)
DG constraints: This is a DG size (PDG) limit between the
maximum and minimum capacity. Since type I DG is
considered for this study, only active power limit is
provided. Thus,
1kW  PDG  2MW (5)
3.PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION (PSO)
ALGORITHMS
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are nature-
inspired population-basedmetaheuristicalgorithms [40,49-
52]. These algorithms mimic the social behavior of birds
flocking and fishes schooling. The benefits ofParticleSwarm
Optimization over other conventional techniques include:
i. PSO is based on the intelligence [46, 52].
ii. PSO requires few particles to beregulated.Thesearch
can be carried out by the speed of the particle [46,
50, 52].
iii. PSO gives faster convergence to a solutionclosetothe
optimal [46, 49, 50].
The main steps in PSO algorithm implementation [53] is
given as
Initialize Population
repeat
Calculate fitness values of particles
Modify the best particles in the swarm
Choose the best particle
Calculate the velocities of particles
Update the particle positions

until requirements are met.
4. Simulation Results and discussion
To appraise the performance of PSO algorithm in the
application of DG planning problem, the 33-bus radial
distribution system is simulated using MATLAB 2016a
software. The PSO is used to find the optimal location and
sizing of DG for the minimization of voltage deviation and
total loss of the network.
4.1 The 33-bus distribution system
The single line diagram of 33-bus system [54] is shown in
Figure 1. The system voltage is 12.66 kV and total system
active loads are 3715 kW. This test system consists of 33
buses and 32 branches.
Fig – 1: Single line diagram of 33-bus distribution system
4.2 Established objective function
Like any other metaheuristic algorithm, PSO’ s performance
is dependent on the values of its parameters. Therefore, the
PSO parameters used for this study are used as follows:
number of populations is set to 50 and maximum number of
iterations is set to 100. The acceleration constant = 0.1, the
Initial inertia weight = 0.9 and final inertia weight = 0.4. The
minimum global error gradient = 1e-10.
The convergence characteristics forthesimulationisplotted
on Figure 2. the figure shows the effectiveness of the choice
of the proposed PSO technique in avoidance of premature
convergence.

4.3 Voltage deviation without and without DG
allocation.
The values of base voltage and the voltage with the
allocation of three DG units using PSO technique are
arranged in table 1. The bus 1 has maximum potential of 1pu
and seconded with bus 22 that has 0.99pu. The base voltage
recorded its weakest voltage level at bus 18 with 0.8981pu.
However, with the allocation of 3 DGs at bus locations 18,14
and 17, the voltage deviation of each bus has changed with
an exception of bus 1 and bus 22.

distribution system can be obtained using voltagedeviation.
The use of PSO has yield a significant voltage performance
where it records maximumperformanceof20.19%atbus22
whereas bus 19 record minimum performance with 0% as
expected since bus 19 has minimum voltage deviation. The
percentage voltage performance of the 33-bus distribution
system is shown in Figure 3.
