This paper provides a new approach for solving the problem of network reconfiguration in the presence of Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). It is aimed at reducing actual power loss and enlightening the voltage profile in the supply system. The voltage and branch current capacity constraints have been included in the objective function evaluation. The method has been evaluated at three separate heuristic algorithms on 33-bus radial distribution systems to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method. In this paper the comparison of performance of two latest optimization techniques such as Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with classic optimization techniques such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The new optimization technique produces better result compare to other two optimization logarithm..

Whale Optimization

For optimum placement of distributed generation (DG) units in balanced radial distribution network for loss minimization, implementation of whale optimization algorithm (WOA), a state-of-the-art meta-heuristic optimization algorithm is proposed in this paper. Encouraged by bubble-net hunting strategy of whales, WOA mimes the collective practice of humpback whales. For validating performance in solving the mentioned problem, the suggested technique is implemented on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus balanced radial distribution test networks. The obtained results demonstrate that feasible and effective solutions are obtained using the proposed approach and can be used as a propitious substitute in practical power systems to overcome the optimum DG siting and sizing issue. Also concerning the best knowledge of the authors, it is the first report on the application of WOA in solving optimum DG siting and sizing issue.
