In this paper, the performance of different optimization techniques namely, multi-objective dragonfly algorithm (MODA) and multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) are presented and compared. The uncertainty effect of a wind turbine (WT) on the performance of the distribution system is taken into account. The point estimate method (PEM) is used to model the uncertainty in wind power. Optimization methods are applied to determine the multi-objective optimal allocation of distributed generation (DG) in radial distribution systems at a different load level (light, normal, heavy load level). The multi-objective function is expressed to minimize the total power loss, total operating cost, and improve the voltage stability index of the radial distribution system (RDS). Multi-objective proposed algorithms are used to generate the Pareto optimal solutions; and a fuzzy decision-making function is used to produce a hybrid function for obtaining the best compromise solution. The proposed algorithms are carried out on 33-bus and IEEE-69-bus power systems. The simulation results show the effectiveness of installing the proper size of DG at the suitable location based on different techniques.
