<p><span>With the widespread of using distributed generation, the connection of DGs in the distribution system causes miscoordination between protective devices. This paper introduces the problems associated with recloser fuse miscoordination (RFM) in the presence of single and multiple DG in a radial distribution system. Two Multi objective optimization problems are presented. The first is based on technical impacts to determine the optimal size and location of DG considering system power loss reduction and enhancement the voltage profile with a certain constraints and the second is used for minimizing the operating time of all fuses and recloser with obtaining the optimum settings of fuse recloser coordination characteristics. Whale Optimizer algorithm (WOA) emulated RFM as an optimization problem. The performance of the proposed methodology is applied to the standard IEEE 33 node test system. The results show the robustness of the proposed algorithm for solving the RFM problem with achieving system power loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement.</span></p>

This paper proposes a novel adaptive optimization algorithm to solve the network reconfiguration and distributed generation (DG) placement problems with objective functions including power loss minimization and voltage stability index (VSI) improvement. The proposed technique called Adaptive Shuffled Frogs Leaping Algorithm (ASFLA) was performed for solving network reconfiguration and DG installation in IEEE 33- and 69-bus distribution systems with seven different scenarios. The performance of ASFLA was compared to that of other algorithms such as Fireworks Algorithm (FWA), Adaptive Cuckoo Search Algorithm (ACSA) and Shuffled Frogs Leaping Algorithm (SFLA). It was found that the power loss and VSI provided by ASFLA were better than those given by FWA, ACSA and SFLA in both 33- and 69-bus systems. The best solution of power loss reduction and VSI improvement of both 33- and 69-bus systems was achieved when the network reconfiguration with optimal sizing and the location DG were simultaneously implemented. From our analysis, it was indicated that the ASFLA could provide better solutions than other methods since the generating process, local and global searching of this algorithm were significantly improved from a conventional method. Hence, the ASFLA becomes another effective algorithm for solving network reconfiguration and DG placement problems in electrical distribution systems.

Power Loss Reduction

The electrical distribution system has experienced a number of important changes due to the integration of distributed and renewable energy resources. Optimal integration of distributed generators (DGs) and distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) of the radial network have significant impacts on the power system. The main aim of this study is to optimize the power loss reduction and DG penetration level increment while keeping the voltage profile improvements with in the permissible limit. To do so, a hybrid of analytical approach and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are proposed. The proposed approach was tested on 33-bus and 69-bus distribution networks, and significant improvements in power loss reduction, DG penetration increment, and voltage profile were achieved. Compared with the base case scenario, power loss was reduced by 89.76% and the DG penetration level was increased by 81.59% in the 69-bus test system. Similarly, a power loss reduction of 82.13% and DG penetration level increment of 80.55% was attained for the 33-bus test system. The simulation results obtained are compared with other methods published in the literature.

The main aim of the distribution system is delivery the power to the consumers. Because of, aging of electrical infrastructure, old control mechanism, increased power demand causing exploitation of the present electrical networks leads to low voltage profile, more active and reactive power loss with various power quality related issues causing poor network operation. In this method maximization of voltage profile with energy loss minimization is carried using network reconfiguration along with optimal siting of the distributed generation (DG). The proposed methodology is carried out on five bus system. The obtained results are impressive interms of voltage stability and power loss reduction.

Tie Line

Feeder reconfiguration is a planning to change the system configuration by altering the existing tie-line and sectionalizing switches status for minimizing the system losses. Hence, the network reconfiguration is essential in distribution system to minimizing system power losses. Reduction of power loss is much considerable role in power flow of distribution network in evaluating system performance. There are several methods have been proposed for reduction of system power losses and voltage improvement. This paper mainly employs feeder reconfiguration for power loss minimization and voltage improvement using opening and closing tie line and sectionalizing switches by hybrid binary particle swarm and cuckoo search algorithm. As a consequence in this operation, there is significant improvement of voltage profile, freeing up and power loss minimization. The system performance is evaluated and tested in 33 bus system, and simulation is carried out using Matlab simulation platform. For optimal switching strategy, the cuckoo search and hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm are implemented and showed better improvement in voltage profile, minimization of real power loss and percentage of power loss reduction.
