This paper presents a new methodology using fuzzy and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for the placement of Distributed Generators (DG) in the radial distribution systems to reduce the real power losses and to improve the voltage profile. A two-stage methodology is used for the optimal DG placement. In the first stage, fuzzy approach is used to find the optimal DG locations and in the second stage, PSO is used to find the size of the DGs corresponding to maximum loss reduction. The proposed
