Popis: Abstract In distributed networks, wind turbine generators (WTGs) are to be optimally sized and positioned for cost‐effective and efficient network service. Various meta‐heuristic algorithms have been proposed to allocate WTGs within microgrids. However, the ability of these optimizers might not be guaranteed with uncertainty loads and wind generations. This paper presents novel meta‐heuristic optimizers to mitigate extreme voltage drops and the total costs associated with WTGs allocation within microgrids. Arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA), coronavirus herd immunity optimizer, and chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA) are proposed to manipulate these aspects. The trialed optimizers are developed and analyzed via Matlab, and fair comparison with the grey wolf optimization, particle swarm optimization, and the mature genetic algorithm are introduced. Numerical results for a large‐scale 295‐bus system (composed of IEEE 141‐bus, IEEE 85‐bus, IEEE 69‐bus subsystems) results illustrate the AOA and the ChOA outperform the other optimizers in terms of satisfying the objective functions, convergence, and execution time. The voltage profile is substantially improved at all buses with the penetration of the WTG with satisfactory power losses through the transmission lines. Day‐ahead is considered generic and efficient in terms of total costs. The AOA records costs of 16.575M$/year with a reduction of 31% compared to particle swarm optimization.
