Network Reconfiguration of Distribution System for Maximum Loss Reduction Using Sine Cosine Algorithm

摘要

In this manuscript, the network reconfiguration problem is resolved of open loop distribution systems with an objective of maximization of loss reduction. Distribution system plays an important role in supplying the electrical energy from power center to the end users via transmission coordination. The aim of the network reconfiguration is to reduce real power loss while satisfying all the operational constraints without islanding of any node. To decrease the system losses, the change of configuration in the meshed distribution system by switching operation with tie and sectional switches, while maintaining radial structure. A population based algorithm is called Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) is proposed for global optimization. The SCA algorithm is accomplished with standard 16-bus and 69-bus systems and outcomes proves the effectiveness of the proposed method..
