Application of Modified Bacterial Foraging Optimization algorithm for optimal placement and sizing of Distributed Generation

作者：

Highlights：

• A new approach in (Bacterial Foraging Optimization) BFO algorithm is proposed.

• It is named as Modified Bacterial Foraging Optimization (MBFO) algorithm.

• It is tested in RDS, in the presence of Distributed Generation (DG) unit.

• Objective of this work is to reduce the total real power loss.

• The test results obtained from MBFO are better than BFO.
