Abstract

This paper presents a application of Harmony Search (HS) algorithm for optimal placement of distributed generations(DGs) in distribution systems. In optimization procedure, the HS algorithm denotes the searching ability for the global optimal solution with simple coding of the iteration procedure, and shows the fast convergence characteristics for getting solutions. The HS algorithm is tested on 9 buses and 69 buses distribution systems, and the results prove its effectiveness to determine appropriate placement points of DGs and reducing amount of active power without the occurrence of any mis-determination in selection of its capacity.
