Abstract

Electric power distribution loss and reliability are major concerns in power system as the demand of electrical energy by customers keep increasing day by day. One of the suggested methods to minimize these problems is by doing reconfiguration process to existing distribution network. A reconfiguration is performed by opening or closing the sectionalizing switches and need to maintain the feeder in radial network. This study presents Distribution Network Reconfiguration (DNR) by using Modified Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (IABC). The main objectives of this study are to minimize the power losses, enhance load balancing index, and improve the voltage profile simultaneously. The performance of the proposed method will be investigated and the impact to the distribution network will be analyzed. The algorithm (IABC) will be applied on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution systems network. The real result will be compared with the conventional initial network and other optimization techniques which are Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The results of this study is hoped to help the electrical engineers (Power System) in Malaysia in order to solve the losses problem in the distribution network reconfiguration and at the same time increasing the efficiency of the real distribution system.
