The main objectives of distribution network reconfiguration are real power loss reduction and relieving the overload. As well, integration of distributed generation (DG) units and fixed/switched capacitor banks are effective options for operation cost reduction, reducing system losses, improving voltage profile and increasing voltage stability index in the distribution systems. Therefore, simultaneous network reconfiguration, optimal […]
This article presents a network reconfiguration in balanced distribution networks using Multi Verse Optimization (MVO) to optimize the total system resistive losses and reduce emissions by means of step by step switching. Reconfiguration is a considerable manner of altering the power flows through the lines from the main substation to load ends, while maintaining radial […]
Distribution systems pose a significant challenge within the power grid, primarily due to their high current, low voltage, and comparatively high ohmic resistance compared to transmission and sub-transmission systems.This results in substantial power losses, necessitating the need for effective mitigation strategies.To address this issue, a wide range of methods and algorithms have been proposed and […]
