Continuous urban development and sustainable development goals to develop cities and transform them into smart cities faces many challenges that appear in the transfer of electricity to this place or the difficulty and high price of building a station in this place. And power loss and voltage instability are major problems in distribution systems. However, these problems are typically mitigated by efficient network reconfiguration. Distributed generation (DG) can be used in the distribution systems to fight the increase of the load demand and it improve power generation systems and improvement the system efficiency. But it is very strange that if the generators are placed in an ill-considered size and in an inappropriate location, this causes the system to weaken, which has a bad effect on use, and this is not desirable. Not only that, but with the increase in the demand for power to cope with the increasing loads, stages of loss of power appear when it enters the distribution stage through transmission lines to loads. Therefore, the process of selecting the appropriate size and location with the general cost and taking into account environmental factors is a very important process to ensure the stability and reliability of the system .In the event that the generators are placed in an inappropriate size and in an inappropriate location, this leads to many problems in voltage, power and distribution, which causes severe weakness of the system, which causes an increase in the chance that electricity is not connected to the loads. So the appropriate way to choose the right placement and size is very important. In this study, we study the best place in which distribution generators can be added and the best size for them using PSO and its implementation on IEEE14 standard systems
