Abstract: In order to reduce power losses caused by high current and improve the voltage profile in the network distribution, the introduction of distributed generations also called productions decentralized in distribution network plays a prominent role. The placement and sizing of DGs is essential because wrong choice may jeopardize the system behaviour. To solve this combinatorial problem, an meta-heuristic algorithm known as artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The paper illustrates the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithms for optimal location and sizing of distributed generation in a distribution network.
