Distribution Network Reconfiguration with the OpenDSS using Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization

摘要

This paper presents a new method for distribution network reconfiguration that uses the features of the Open Source Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS) and improved binary particle swarm optimization (IBPSO), a new activation function is introduced into binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) to propose the IBPSO. The proposed algorithm was developed in C# language allowing the integration between OpenDSS and the IBPSO. Numerical result using 33-Bus system and the 69-Bus system were used to compare the results of the proposed method with other modern techniques reported in the technical literature
