Integration of REG has great importance to the electrical power system. Several meth- ods have been developed to determine the optimal location of the REG in the power system based on technical and economical aspects. In the present paper, the optimum location of REG has been determined by considering social benefit, power loss and pol- lutant emission. A prominent optimization technique, PDIPM has been applied for the maximizing social benefit. A multi-attribute approach has been used for optimal location of renewable energy generators by considering various factors like minimizing power loss, and pollutant emission. Furthermore, the availability of renewable sources like solar and wind has also been considered in this paper for optimal location of renewable generators. The optimization based approach is validated on IEEE-5 and IEEE-30 bus test systems.
