Optimal Feeder Reconfiguration and DG Placement in Distribution Network
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for network reconfiguration associated with DG allocation to minimize real power losses in radial distribution networks. A modified Binary Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, called Selective Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (SPSO), is used to solve network reconfiguration problem. Allocation of DG units has been done by sensitivity analysis. A multi objective function is formulated to solve the problem of real power loss minimization and voltage profile improvement in distribution system. The type-I DG (which gives only active power) is used here. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is demonstrated on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution systems at three different load levels namely light, nominal and heavy loads. Maximum penetration of DG is considered in a range of 0-30% of total system load. The results are promising when compared with recently proposed algorithms.
