Distributed generation (DG) can be integrated into any radial distribution network (RDN) to meet the increasing demand for electric power. Instead of integrating a single large size DG, two or more than two small DGs (multi DGs) are usually placed. These DGs must be placed in appropriate buses/nodes with suitable size to ensure better performance of the system. The purpose of this paper is to implement an established hybrid optimization algorithm to place multi DGs with suitable size at each site. The proposed hybrid ABC-CS optimization algorithm combines the behaviour of the artificial bee colony (ABC) and cuckoo search (CS) algorithms. The multi DGs are optimally placed by considering objectives like power loss, penalty function (PE) and voltage profile (VP). The outcomes of two different types of radial distribution networks obtained by the suggested method for placement of multi DGs have been correlated to that obtained by using genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and GA-PSO. The proposed method has also been correlated with the other published methods to indicate its strength.
