Abstract

Distribution network reconfiguration is one of the well-known and effective strategies in the distribution networks which performs by the status management of the network switches in order to obtain a new optimal configuration for the feeders. This study formulates multi-objective distribution feeder reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generators and capacitors. Common objective functions in the Distribution network reconfiguration problem include power losses and voltage deviations, which are important goals in traditional distribution systems. Usually, less attention has been paid to the reliability and voltage security target functions. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are to improve the reliability and maintenance of voltage by solving the problem of Distribution network reconfiguration. The inherent complexities of the distribution network rearrangement problem have made it a serious challenge to provide a practical and robust solution to overcome the complexities of this problem, therefore, the improved gravitational search optimization algorithm to solve this problem Has been. In order to show the efficiency of the proposed method, it has been tested on a 33-bus test system.and the results are compared with the

results of using other evolutionary algorithms, such as particle

swarm optimization and shuffled frog leaping
