Optimal placement of multiple DGs in radial distribution systems to minimize power loss using BSA

: Distributed generation (DG) sources are becoming more important in electrical networks due to the increase of energy demands. However, DG can have a profound effect on network power loss. Hence, optimal placement and size DGs extremely important. This study presents backtracking search algorithm (BSA) based multiple within distribution systems so reduce The BSA is new heuristic algorithm. Two main DGs, photovoltaic synchronous compensator, were used selected systems. To demonstrate effectiveness proposed method, results obtained by compared with genetic (GA) as well other literature.
