Feeder Reconfiguration Using Binary Coding Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper proposes an effective approach based on binary coding Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to identify the switching operation plan for feeder reconfiguration. The proposed method considers the advantages and disadvantages of existing particle swarm optimization method and redefined the operators of PSO algorithm to fit the application field of distribution systems. Shift operator is pr...

Reconfiguration of Electric Distribution Network Using Modified Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper presents the application of modified form of Particle Swarm Optimization as an optimization technique to the reconfiguration of electric distribution systems. The intended reconfiguration is an optimization and decision-making process which considers the maximization of the number of loads supplied associated to the minimization of the number of closed switches. A novel selection reg...

A Novel Hybrid Modified Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for the Uncertain p-Median Location Problem

Here, we investigate the classical p-median location problem on a network in which the vertex weights and the distances between vertices are uncertain. We propose a programming model for the uncertain p-median location problem with tail value at risk objective. Then, we show that it is NP-hard. Therefore, a novel hybrid modified binary particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented to obtai...

Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Based TNEP Considering Network Losses, Voltage Level, and Uncertainty in Demand

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is an important component of power system planning. Itdetermines the characteristics and performance of the future electric power network and influences the powersystem operation directly. Different methods have been proposed for the solution of the static transmissionnetwork expansion planning (STNEP) problem till now. But in all of them, STNEP pr...
