Performance analysis of multiple distributed generation placement in radial distribution system using Reptile Search Algorithm

This paper implements a new Reptile Search Algorithm to determine the optimal allocation of distributed generation in a radial distribution system. The main objective of this work is to minimize the total power loss of the system while satisfying the operating constraints. The proposed method is tested on the 69-bus radial distribution system. The performance analysis of multiple distributed generation placement has been analyzed in detail. The simulated results are compared with other existing works. It is found that the performance of the proposed method gives encouraging results.
