Active Power Loss Minimization Using Simultaneous Network Reconfiguration and DG Placement with AGPSO Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach has been proposed to solve network reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generation (DG) in distribution system with an objective of minimization real power loss and improving voltage profile of the consumers connected to radial distribution network. Improper allocation of DG sources in power system would not only lead to increase power losses, but can also jeopardize the system action. The finest position of DG is needed for the minimization of losses and improving reliability and stability in power system. In order to overcome the drawbacks of mathematical optimization practices, soft computing algorithms have been actively introduced during the past decade. In this paper AGPSO algorithm is proposed to solve the network reconfiguration problem which gives optimal switching combination and also the same used to calculate the optimal size of DG to minimize power loss in the distribution system. Sensitivity study is used to recognize corresponding optimal location for installation of distributed generation (DG). The proposed method was examined on distribution network consisting of 33 and 69- bus radial distribution systems at different load levels to verify efficacy of the planned method, the outcome shows that the planned method is fast and effective.
