This article presents a methodology for a multi-objective optimal allocation of multi-type distributed generators in radial distribution networks based on a backtracking search algorithm. The study aims to prove the validity and the strength of the backtracking search algorithm multi-objective method on distributed generator allocation. The multi-objective function is expressed to minimize the network power losses, to consolidate the static voltage stability indices, and to ameliorate the bus's voltage profile. The indicators of loss sensitivity factors and bus voltage magnitudes are incorporated to establish set of fuzzy expert rules to assort the preliminary buses for distributed generator placement. The proposed methodology allows the fuzzy decision maker to decide the best compromise solution among the offered Pareto-optimal solutions. The salient features of the backtracking search algorithm are demonstrated and marked on 33- and 94-node radial distribution networks with various scenarios. The cropped results are compared with those reported by others in the literature, validating and signifying the proposed approach. The study finds that the type-3 distributed generator unit (delivers P and injects Q) is most preferred to reduce power losses along network lines and to boost both the bus voltage profile and voltage stability indices.
