: The optimal placement of distributed generation (DG) is a critical task for distribution companies in order to keep the distribution network running smoothly. The optimal placement of DG units is an optimization problem. In this paper, minimization of the voltage deviation from flat voltage is considered as an objective function. The self-adaptive Lévy flight-based Jaya algorithm is used as an optimization technique to determine the best location and size of distributed generation units. In the MATLAB environment, the proposed algorithm was implemented on IEEE 15 and PG and E 69 bus distribution systems. According to the simulation results, distribution networks can supply more quality power to customers by minimizing the voltage deviation from the flat voltage profile if the DG units are properly placed and sized.
