In this paper, a modified crow search algorithm (MCSA) is proposed for obtaining the optimal size and site of different types of distributed generations (DG) and distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) in a 51-bus practical distribution system (PDS) with an aim to improve system voltage, reduce line losses, maximize economic benefit, and decrease the pollution level. Logical and innovative formulas are developed to measure the technical, economic, and environmental impact of these devices. In the modified version of CSA (MCSA), the control parameters are logically tuned to make them adaptive with the iteration. The optimal allocation for each type of device is conducted at different load levels and their techno-economic and environmental performances are accomplished to identify the most suitable device for PDS. The proposed algorithm is compared with the other algorithms to show its effectiveness.
