This research aims to analyze the impact of Distributed Generation (DG) on congestion line mitigation, power loss reduction, and voltage profile enhancement for Iraq’s 400kV national grid system. The suggested Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Exchange Market Algorithm (EMA) are implemented to specify the optimum size and location based on an analytic approach depended on voltage, active losses, and congestion lines as fitness. Then it is added to the super 400kV Iraqi grid. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach in determining the optimum size and location, decreasing the congestion line, reducing power losses, reducing line flow, and improving the bus voltage profile. The results are obtained with proposed algorithms implementation by using programming language within MATLAB /R2018a environment.
