Appropriate installation of renewable energy-based distributed generation units (RDGs) is one of the most important challenges and current topics of interest in the optimal functioning of modern power networks. Due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, optimal allocation and sizing of RDGs, particularly photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT), remains a critical task. Based on a new metaheuristic known as the Artificial hummingbird algorithm (AHA), this paper provides a novel approach for addressing the problem of RDG planning optimization. Considering various operational constraints, the optimization problem is developed with multiple objectives including power loss reduction, voltage stability margin (VSM) enhancement, voltage deviation minimization, and yearly economic savings. Furthermore, using relevant probability distribution functions, the ambiguities related with the stochastic nature of PV and WT output powers are evaluated. The proposed algorithm was compared to two of the recent metaheuristics applied in this domain known as improved harris hawks and particle swarm optimization algorithm (HHO-PSO) and hybrid of phasor particle swarm and gravitational search algorithm (PPSOGSA). The IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus systems are assessed as the test systems in this study. According to the findings, AHA delivers superior solutions and enhances the techno-economic benefits of distribution systems in all the scenarios evaluated.
