Voltage Stability Maximization by Distribution Network Reconfiguration Using a Hybrid Algorithm

摘要

Voltage stability maximization by Distribution Network Reconfiguration (DNR) is the process of finding a network configuration offering the least voltage deviation at the buses. Through the use of an Improved Voltage Deviation Index (TVDI) the stability of the entire distribution network has been studied. Using a hybrid algorithm, the DNR problem was tested on 6 standard test systems: 16, 33, 70, 118, 135 and 880 bus systems. The results showed that DNR using the IVDI can indeed lead to the improvement of the entire system stability.
