I. INTRODUCTION
The power system is very complex due to high operational demand for electricity supply and load density.The primary cause of instability in power system planning is the load demand which is generate due to the electricity supply variety need from a different class of customers [5].Therefore, there is always voltage profile degradation, and the voltage profile reduced in the distribution system which moves away from the sub-station [23].Thus, the ever increase of energy demand necessitated delivering electrical power over long transmission and distribution line to meet [15], [6].Many conventional methods of electricity generation use primary sources of energy that are nonrenewable and as such their thoroughness in nature.This calls for the use of distributed generation (DG) and the use of DG technology.DG system is a current smart grid concept which forms the backbone of a modern distribution system.The DG can be renewable energy source (RES) like wind turbines, photovoltaic, small hydro, biomass etc. or fossil fuel based sources such as internal combustion engines (IC), combustion turbines and fuel cells [25].
The Distributed Generation (DG) connection at the (e-mail: fellyxowolabi@gmail.com) consumer side has given many opportunities for the network to minimize the existing power losses.When the DG units is implemented, the distribution system will no longer have a single supply system, which is from the transmissiondistribution substation, but there will be multiple sources power in the network.While the other loads get the power supply from the main source, the DG units will supply to part of the local load.However, the size and location of the DG incompatibility will give an opposite effect to the distribution network such as voltage operating beyond the limit, power loss increase and others [2], [13], [17], [14], [19].

Literature Review
In solving an optimization problem in terms of optimal location and sizing of DG, there are several methods proposed, which can either be stochastic search algorithms or conventional.Example of the traditional technique includes using the analytical way which involves exact loss formula [12], a bus impedance matrix of study devoid [4], load concentration factor analysis [16], Power Voltage Sensitivity Constant method [22], etc.It is clear from the literature [3] that the conventional or classical method of analysis has the disadvantage of finding the optimal solution for the nonlinear optimization problems.
The analysis in [18] studies on optimal placement and sizing of DG units in the distribution system.The author used combination of two heuristic optimization methods which are Immune System and Genetic Algorithm in order to maximize the important of DG.Since the power losses and the cost of reinforcement are directly related to the size of DG, thus the authors reduce both factors in order to achieve the optimal DG output in the system.The authors have compared the method with other optimization methods which are GA, PSO, Immune Algorithm (IA), Ordinal Optimization (OO) and GA-OPF.However, the locations of DGs are diverse for each optimization methods and can cause the optimal power losses values to be different.
Reference [9] proposed the use of continuation power flow in order to determine the most sensitive buses to voltage collapse and used as the applicant for DG placement.Many other methods use heuristic techniques for DG placement in Distribution networks among which one of the approach [20], for optimizing the problem which is based on the concept of Pareto Optimality.In [10], optimal DG placement and enclosures based on reliability of the network was done by using Ant Colony Search (ACS) algorithm.

Application of a Particle Swarm Optimization for Improving Voltage Profile with Distributed Generation: A
Case Study of 33/0.415KVAbuja Airport Injection Substation Stephen Oodo, and Felix S. Owolabi II.DISTRIBUTED GENERATION Distributed generation can be defined as an electric power source which is connected directly to the distribution network or on the customer site of the meter [1].
This definition of distributed generation is not analyzed and discussed the rating of the generation source, as the maximum rating depends on the local distribution network conditions, e.g.voltage level.Also, the definition of distributed generation does not define the technologies, as the technologies that can be used vary widely.Ackermann's definition is the most generic one, because there is no limit on the DG size and capacity and his definition covers the location of the DG.[11] Defines DG as "the generation of electricity by facilities that are sufficiently smaller than central generating plants so as to allow interconnection at nearly any point in a power system."IEEE compared the size of the DG to that of a conventional generating plant in their definition.
A more precise definition is provided by the International Council on Large Electric Systems [7] and The International Conference on Electricity Distribution (CIRED), which defines DG based on size, location, and type.CIGRE defines distributed generation as "all generation units with a maximum capacity of 50 MW to 100 MW, that are usually connected to the distribution network and that are neither centrally planned nor dispatched."CIRED defines DG to be "all generation units with a maximum capacity of 50 MW to 100MW that are usually connected to the distribution network.
There are usually three operators in a typical genetic algorithm [8]: the first is the production operator (elitism) which makes one or more copies of any individual that possess a high fitness value; otherwise, the individual is eliminated from the solution pool; the second operator is the recombination (also known as the 'crossover') operator.

III. PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION (PSO)
PSO is an algorithm which based on emergent behavior and social dynamics that develops a population of individual to the space search.Edward and Kennedy formulated PSO in 1995.The social behavior of animals, such as fish schooling was developed by the algorithm.PSO is similar to the continuous GA in that it begins with a random population matrix.For each particle then adds that velocity to the particle position or values.Velocity updates are influenced by both the best global solution associated with the lowest cost ever found by a particle and the best local solution associated with the lowest cost in the present population.If the best local solution has a cost less than the cost of the current global solution, then the best local solution replaces the best global solution.The particle velocity is reminiscent of local minimizes that use derivative information, because velocity is the derivative of position.The constant G1 is called the cognitive parameter [21].The constant G2 is called the social parameter.The advantages of PSO are that it is easy to implement and there are few parameters to adjust [24].The particle swarming becomes evident as the generations pass.The largest group of particles ends up in the vicinity of the global minimum and the next largest group is near the next lowest minimum.

A. Proposed Algorithm
The PSO Algorithm used in this paper for analyzing the system is presented in the power flow technique and the optimization method which was programmed in MATLAB/Simulink.
The loads of this research paper was modeled as constant power, which describe real and reactive power absorbed by the system in the power injections at the buses.In order to keep a constant power injection, the loads are characterized by reacting to changes in the voltage or current.Loads at PQ buses are modeled as constant active   and reactive power   provided that voltage at bus k is within acceptable limits as:  Loss Reduction  Voltage profile Improvement The items are composed with constraints to obtain the proper objective functions.The main constraints are: 1) Load Losses Before installing DG in power grid should be less than losses after installing of it.Loss with DG ≤ Loss without DG 2) Voltage constraint V bus min ≤ V bus ≤ V bus max The objective function, with composing constraints and goals, is determined as following: First term in this expression, related to difference between average of voltage profile percentage in base case and other cases according to DG's locations.By In the case that voltage limits are violated, PQ loads are modified for as: Where    is depending on the case    o    .The overall efficiency of the Biogas is between 20-40% of the distributed generation and its power rating varies between 0.3 to 7 MW in order to avoid waste in the system.
The advantages of Biogas energy are that it is a clean power source, and the cheapest technology compared to other types of renewable energies.The empirical data in Table I was used to run the load flow of Newton Raphson as shown in Fig 1 .The reason of doing that is to determine the faulty buses that did not fall within the range of 0.95 t0 1.05 per unit volts.Fig. 4 shows Development of a model for the integration of the DG to the network without using particle swarm optimization technology.Fig. 5 shows that the per unit volts when particle swarm optimization is not used for the nine buses are 1.06, 1.06, 1.0561, 1.082, 1.064, 1.071 and 1.058 respectively that cause unstable power supply.The model shows that the per unit volts when particle swarm optimization is used for the nine buses are 1.028, 1.028, 1.024, 1.049, 1.031, 1.038, 1.026, 1.023 and 1.05 respectively that cause stable power supply.The modeling of the components discussed in this section is based on the assumption that the three phase system is balanced under steady state conditions.Using this assumption, per phase analysis can be done.With the result obtained after the load flow, it shows that the faulty buses that did not fall within the range of 0.95 to 1.05 per unit volts are buses 1 = 1.06 per unit volt, bus 9 = 1.06 per unit volt, bus 10 = 1.056 per unit volt, bus11 =1.082 per unit volt., bus 13 = 1.071 per unit volt, bus14 = 1.058 per unit volts, bus15 = 1.055 per unit volts and bus 16 = 1.057 per unit volts.
Fig. 6 shows that the buses 1,9, 10, 11, 12, 13,14, 15 and 16 do not meet to the per unit volt of 0.95 to 1.05 that gives stable power supply in the distribution network.The per unit volts of these buses at time 5s through 8s are 1.06, 1.06, 1.056, 1.082, 1.064, 1.071, 1.058, 1.055 and 1.057 respectively.At these per unit volts, it causes over current, over voltage, low power factor, short circuit that constitutes instability in power supply without using particle swarm optimization.Fig. 7 shows comparing rectified per unit voltages with PSO.The result shows that buses 1,9, 10, 11, 12, 13,14, 15 and 16 meet to the per unit volt of 0.95 to 1.05 that gives stable power supply in the distribution network.At a time of 5s through 8s the nine buses meet with stable per unit volts of 1.028, 1.028, 1.024, 1.049, 1.031,1.035,1.026, 1.023 and 1.025 that enhance stable power supply devoid of over current, low power factor, short circuit when particle swarm optimization is used.
