Summary:This article presents a hybrid method based on analytical and metaheuristic optimization techniques for the optimal placement of distributed generations (DGs) and shunt capacitors (SCs) into radial distribution systems (RDSs) to minimize power loss. In the hybrid method, a meta-heuristic called the Salp Swarm Algorithm is utilized to determine the optimal locations of DGs and SCs, while an efficient analytical technique is applied to calculate the optimal sizes. To check the robustness of the proposed method, two standard IEEE systems are employed; IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus, and compared with existing optimization techniques. Also to confirm the ability of the proposed method on improving performance, it applied to an actual 94-bus Portuguese RDS. The obtained results show the feasibility of the proposed method in optimal allocating of the DG and SC into RDS.
