چکیده
Received Jun 19, 2017 Revised Aug 15, 2017 Accepted Sep 7, 2017 This manuscript presents a feeder reconfiguration in primary distribution networks with an objective of minimizing the real power loss or maximization of power loss reduction. An optimal switching for the network reconfiguration problem is introduced in this article based on step by step switching and simultaneous switching. This paper proposes a Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm to solve the feeder reconfiguration problem through fitness function corresponding to optimum combination of switches in power distribution systems. The objective function is formulated to solve the reconfiguration problem which includes minimization of real power loss. A nature inspired Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm is utilized to restructure the power distribution system and identify the optimal switches corresponding minimum power loss in the distribution network. The GWO technique has tested on standard IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus systems and the results are presented. Keyword:

متن کاملA Multi-Objective Method for Network Reconfiguration (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper presents an algorithm based on multi-objective approach for network reconfiguration. Multiple objectives are considered for reduction in the system power loss, deviations of the nodes voltage and transformers loading imbalance, while subject to a radial network structure in which all the loads must be energized and no branch current constraint is violated. These three objectives are ...
