The satisfaction of electricity customers and environmental constraints imposed have made the trend towards renewable energies making them more essential due to their advantages as reducing power losses and ameliorating system’s voltage profiles and reliability. This article addresses the optimal location and size of multiple distributed generations (DGs) based on solar photovoltaic panels (PV) connected to electrical distribution network (EDN) using the various proposed hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms based on chaotic maps and adaptive acceleration coefficients. These algorithms are implemented to optimally allocate the DGs based PV (PV-DG) into EDN by minimizing the multi-objective function (MOF), which is represented as the sum of three technical parameters of the total active power loss (TAPL), total voltage deviation (TVD), and total operation time (TOT) of overcurrent relays (OCRs). The effectiveness of the proposed PSO algorithms were validated on both standards IEEE 33-bus, and 69-bus. The optimal integrating of PV-DGs into EDNs reduced the TAPL percentage by 56.94 % for the IEEE 33-bus and by 61.17 % for the IEEE 69-bus test system, enhanced the voltage profiles while minimizing the TVD by 37.35 % and by 32.27 % for two EDNs, respectively.
