“…The location of the suitable capacity of a DG unit in a distribution network plays a significant role in influencing the performance of a power network. For instance, a reduction in power losses and an increase in bus voltages are dependent on the optimal location and capacity of installed DG units in the network (Pisica, Bulac, & Eremia, 2009;Liu, Zhu, Kang, & Chen, 2007;Talaat & Al-Ammar, 2011;Sulaiman, Mustafa, Azmi, Aliman, & Abdul Rahim, 2012;Tan, Hassan, Majid, & Rahman, 2013;Elsherif & Shaaban, 2015;Kaur & Mehta, 2016;Shivarudraswamy, Gaondar, & Jayalakshmi, 2016;Rakesh, VenkataPanana, & Keerthi, 2017). Furthermore, the optimal location of multiple DG systems increases the penetration level of DG in a network to enable the manipulation of power flow in a power system (Talaat & Al-Ammar, 2011;Elsherif & Shaaban, 2015;Ogunjuyigbe, Ayodele, & Alinala, 2016).…”
