Influence of Optimal Network Reconfiguration of Electric Power Distribution Feeders on Power Loss Minimization: A Comprehensive Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of reconfiguring the electric power distribution network under normal operating conditions is to reduce the total active power losses of the network or to balance the load of the system’s feeders which is an important part of distribution network operation to improve system reliability and stability. However, the three objectives of the distribution engineers is power losses minimization, maintenance of good voltage profile and minimum feeders’ current levels. For the past forty two (42) years, researchers have proposed various methodologies that include pure heuristic and artificial intelligent-based methods. This paper examines a comprehensive bibliographical study and general backgrounds of researches and developments in the areas of network reconfiguration and optimization using artificial intelligent-based techniques inover sixty (60) published articles that were reviewed. The benefit of this comprehensive survey is to provide reference point for educational advancement on the recently published articles in the areas of network reconfiguration and to stimulate further research interest.
