The Pareto front based non-dominated sorting particle swarm optimization algorithm (NSPSO) is representing non-dominated sorting solutions of two multi-objective functions. A fuzzy decision making analysis is used to obtain the final trade off optimal solution. The 33 and 69 bus radial test systems are used in the simulation. The NSPSO can obtain pareto front between real power loss and investment cost for optimally placed multi distributed generations on four different types of DG UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B02236 ER -
