Energy Saving Maximization of Balanced and Unbalanced Distribution Power Systems via Network Reconfiguration and Optimum Capacitor Allocation Using a Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm

The main aim of this work was the maximization energy saving balanced and unbalanced distribution power systems via system reconfiguration optimum capacitor’s bank choice, which were estimated by using a new algorithm: modified Tabu search Harper sphere (MTS-HSSA). results demonstrated that proposed method is appropriate for improving performance compared with other methods reported in literature IEEE 33-bus adopted systems, including large scale such as 119 123 system. Moreover, it can be used distributed generators (DGs). (the optimal choice shunt capacitor (SC) banks algorithm) different strategies saving, included generation (DG) at cost levels.
