Comparison of different methods to face the huge increase in future load in power distribution network

The main challenge of present distribution networks is the huge increase in demand for electricity especially city center where increasing vertically same geographical area. This work presents analyses 5-Mail network Basra City/Iraq with conventional system 33/11/0.416 kV, at future load by estimating 10 years later. analyzed terms voltage drop, power losses, and feeder loading. To improve kV re-analyzed expected using optimal reconfiguration or adding capacitor placement to reduce losses drop. results these methods are compared proposed 33/0.416 load. show that method upgrading level best solution. GIS software used locate transformers lying underground cables. CYME simulate electric conduct flow other analyses.The analyses.
