<![CDATA[Advancements in renewable energy sources (RES) have significantly increased power generation and reduced emissions. Optimally integrating RES into distribution systems can minimize power losses, emissions, and enhance voltage profile and stability. Therefore, determining the optimal location and size of RES is crucial for their effective integration. This paper presents a novel approach for identifying the optimal location and size of a solar power plant (SPP) in a distribution system, considering system power losses, voltage profile, voltage stability, and emissions simultaneously. A simple yet effective methodology combining repeated load flow and fuzzy systems is proposed. Repeated load flow is used to calculate the relevant attributes, while fuzzy decision-making is employed to determine the optimal solution. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through its application to the IEEE-33 bus system. The results illustrate that integrating a SPP at the optimal location and size can significantly reduce power losses and emissions while improving voltage profile and stability.]]>
