Abstract

Distribution network consists of several feeders with many switches. The feeder lines are often cut accidentally by heavy equipments, natural disaster or intentional attacks which causes blackouts along affected feeders. Therefore, by applying service restoration via network reconfiguration, it will able to revive as many loads as possible by transferring loads in inoperative areas to other distribution feeder via changing the switches status and will help to protect the load and overcome blackout to the consumers. Hence, distribution system must be properly equipped and planned so that consumers will get uninterrupted supply of power without interruption due to out of service area. The main idea of this technique is to alter the network topology by changing the switches state on feeders. Therefore, optimization method which is known from foraging behaviour of honey bee swarm called as Improve Artificial Bee Colony(IABC) has been introduced. The main objectives of this study are to restore blackout area distribution network by changing the appropriate switches state on the distribution feeders with proper size of DG while reduce power losses by employing improved ABC algorithm in distribution network reconfiguration. The study has been tested with IEEE-33 bus system by using the simulation in MATLAB environment. Hopefully by this proposed studies which is Distribution Network Reconfiguration with Service Restoration by using improved ABC algorithm will help in securing the network system while increasing the performance of energy supply in the future respectively.
