This paper addresses an application of Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization method for the optimal allocation of Distributed Generations (DGs) in radial distribution systems. The problem is formulated to maximize annual energy loss reduction while maintaining better node voltage profiles using penalty function approach. A piecewise linear multi-level load pattern is considered, and the distribution network is reconfigured after optimal placement of DGs in the distribution network. A probability-based heuristic intelligent search (IS) is suggested to enhance the accuracy and convergence of the optimization techniques. IS directs optimization techniques to efficiently scan the problem search space in such a way that a fair candidature is available to all decision variables of the problem. It virtually squeezes the search space while maintaining adequate diversity in population. The proposed method is investigated on the benchmark IEEE 33-bus, 69-bus test distribution systems, and 83-bus real distribution system. The application results show that the proposed optimization methodology provides substantial improvement in convergence characteristics and quality of solutions.
