Simulated Annealing for Feeder Routing of Radial Distribution System

The main objective of the distribution system planning is to determine the substation location, size and its service area, number of feeders and their routes. The planning problem is solved by classical methods to non traditional soft computing techniques, hence in this work, soft computing technique known as Simulated Annealing is used. Simulated Annealing is a thermal process for obtaining lo...

Application of Fuzzy and ABC Algorithm for DG Placement for Minimum Loss in Radial Distribution System

Distributed Generation (DG) is a promising solution to many power system problems such as voltage regulation, power loss, etc. This paper presents a new methodology using Fuzzy and Artificial Bee Colony algorithm(ABC) for the placement of Distributed Generators(DG) in the radial distribution systems to reduce the real power losses and to improve the voltage profile. A two-stage methodology is u...

A Mixed Integer Programming Approach to Optimal Feeder Routing for Tree-Based Distribution System: A Case Study

A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize a tree-structured power distribution network considering optimal cable sizing. For minimizing the total cost of the network, a mixed-integer programming model is presented determining the optimal sizes of cables with minimized location-allocation cost. For designing the distribution lines in a power network, the primary factors must be considered as m...

Robust feeder reconfiguration in radial distribution networks

Distribution feeder reconfiguration has been an active field of research for many years. Some recent theoretical studies have highlighted the importance of smart reconfiguration for the operating conditions of such radial networks. In general, this problem has been tackled using a multi-objective formulation with simplified assumptions, in which the uncertainties related to network components h...
