    This paper presents the implementation of multiple distributed generations planning in distribution system using computational intelligence technique. A pre-developed computational intelligence optimization technique named as Embedded Meta EP-Firefly Algorithm (EMEFA) was utilized to determine distribution loss and penetration level for the purpose of distributed generation (DG) installation. In this study, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used in order to solve the complexity of the multiple DG concepts. EMEFA-ANN was developed to optimize the weight of the ANN to minimize the mean squared error. The proposed method was validated on IEEE 69 Bus distribution system with several load variations scenario. The case study was conducted based on the multiple unit of DG in distribution system by considering the DGs are modeled as type I which is capable of injecting real power. Results obtained from the study could be utilized by the utility and energy commission for loss reduction scheme in distribution system.

    Integration of Distributed Generation (DG) into the transmission system is the current paradigm for creating unique transmission grids. Grid line loss and voltage quality may suffer from unreasonably configured DG. The aim of this paper is to rationally allocate distributed generators (DGs) in the transmission network to reduce power losses and guarantee a safe and reliable power supply to the loads. The works suggests an optimal distributed generation using Sand Cat Swarm Optimization (SCSO) for loss minimization to reduce power loss while enhancing voltage stability. The proposed algorithm was simulated and evaluated using the Matrices Laboratory (MATLAB) script programming language and has been implemented on IEEE 14-bus transmission system. The results exhibit that the SCSO method is able to determine the optimal DG size and reducing total losses by 40.77 percent for DG type 1 as compared with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, 38.98% at bus 10. It can be revealed that SCSO can be used by power system planners to choose the best sizing and location.
