<p>This paper presents an integration of distributed generation and capacitor in radial distribution system via Firefly Algorithm (FA).  In this study, the FA is developed in order to determine the optimal location and size for compensation schemes namely distributed generation (DG) and compensating capacitor (CC). The FA which is a meta-heuristic algorithm is inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies. The proposed technique was tested on IEEE Reliability Test systems namely the IEEE 69-bus and the program was developed using the MATLAB programming software. The results shown a significant reduction in the line losses and voltage profile improvement has been obtained with the installation of distributed generation and capacitor in the system.</p>

In this paper, a novel optimization algorithm is presented for optimal location and sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) units on distribution systems. For this purpose, a recently based meta-heuristic called Firefly Algorithm (FA) has been employed to minimize the total active power losses. The results show a considerable improved in voltage profiles of all the buses and enhance the voltage stability index. The investigations were tested on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of firefly algorithm. Comparison with another method is also given.
