Abstract

Abnormal Voltages in electrical distribution system is a threat to power system security and may cause equipment damages. Reconfiguration aids in the proper distribution of load and thus improving the voltage profile. The multi objective framework including node voltage deviation as primary objective and power loss and reliability as secondary objectives is formulated. The novel meta heuristic method based on binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) is employed to find the optimal radial distribution network configuration for an assortment of objective function. The effect of inertia weight, position and population of swarm is deeply investigated. The proposed method has been verified on IEEE 33 and 69 bus radial distribution systems and found to be effective in minimizing node voltage deviation. The impact of the reconfigured system on voltage deviation, power loss and reliability has been studied extensively. BPSO calculations are found to be simple and has good Convergence characteristics in comparison with other meta heuristic techniques.
