N2 - The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) recommended that Egypt be converted to green energy, in addition to increasing the demand for annual energy consumption, which will lead to an increase in the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in Egypt. The Egyptian Ministry of Energy and Electricity plans to build RES (photovoltaic systems and wind farms) connected to the Egyptian power system (EPS). It is a defect to choose the position and size of the RES based on only power calculations because the RES is an intermittent source. This paper presents a modified analytical energy technique for locating RES in IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus distribution networks and a realistic 25-bus 500 kV EPS. An analytical multi-objective function has been developed to determine the optimal locations of DGs or RESs based on power losses and annual energy loss calculations of the system depending on weather conditions. The efficiency and feasibility of the proposed algorithm based on the IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus distribution networks and the realistic 25-bus 500 kV EPS have been tested and compared with PSO and GA. The impact of RESs on the performance of the 25-bus 500 kV EPS has been investigated based on annual energy losses and operation stability depending on weather conditions. The results showed that the proposed technique used these effective values to obtain optimal weather-adjusted locations. The optimal locations of PV systems or wind systems based on energy calculation improved the voltage profile better than power calculation by about 2%, and the annual energy losses decreased by about 7%. The performance of the 25-bus 500 kV EPS, due to the addition of RES, resulted in a decrease in the annual energy losses of 47% and an improvement in the voltage profile and system stability.
