  • The optimal aloccation of Distributed Generation (DG) was most important aspect of DG connected to electrical network scheme development. The methods to determine optimal allocation of DG like SGA dan PSO had weakness. The weakness was a large possibility to be trapped in local optimum solutions. Inertia weight (w) adding to PSO algorithm was a way to overcome the weakness. The developing method knew as Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO). This research used IPSO method for optimal allocation of DG. The optimization was conducted to obtain minimum active power losses reduction with acceptable voltage profile. The method was implemented and tested on IEEE 30 Bus System. The comparison of losses reduction after DG installation showed that IPSO method generated more optimal solution than SGA and PSO methods. The voltage profile after DG installation using IPSO method within standar voltage limit 0.95 - 1.1 pu
