Abstract: In conventional power system the transmission and distribution (T&D) losses is a major concern. Renewable energy resources placed at load centers can reduce the T&D losses. For power system planners and researchers it is essential to find the optimal size and position of renewable energy resources to be place in distribution networks. Renewable energy source such as solar energy is abundantly present in the environment. With the help of solar photovoltaic (SPV) system solar energy can be converted to electrical energy. Placement of SPV in distribution system is an interesting area for researchers and planners, the random placement of SPV in distribution system leads to more power losses and poor voltage profile. In this article mathematical modelling of time varying nature of SPV and variable load has been explained and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is proposed to find the best size and location of the SPV system. This method is tested on IEEE 33 bus system. For the validation of result existing technique based on analytical expression is selected. It is found that PSO gives better result in compare to analytical method.
