This paper presents a multi objective frame work to configure the radial distribution network considering three objective functions: active power loss, distributed Generator (DG) installation cost, and node closeness. This work proposes a Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) based heuristic approach to obtain Pareto optimal solution. The conflicting nature of these objectives makes them best suitable for multi-objective optimization. Further, a Sensitivity analysis is used for allocation of the DG units. Different scenarios of the DG placement and reconfiguration of network are considered to study the performance of the proposed method. The method has been tested on 33-bus radial distribution system for two different load conditions to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.
