Improving Distribution Networks’ Consistency by Optimal Distribution System Reconfiguration and Distributed Generations

This paper presents an Enhanced Marine Predators Algorithm (EMPA) for simultaneous optimal distribution system reconfigurations (DSRs) and distributed generations (DGs) addition. The proposed EMPA recognizes the changes opportunity in environmental climatic conditions. handles a multi-objective model to minimize power losses enhance voltage stability index (VSI) at different loading levels. is performed on IEEE 33-bus large-scale 137-bus systems (DSs) where three distinct conditions are beheld through light, nominal heavy For DS, successfully reduces cumulative by 72.4% compared 70.36% MPA three-loading levels simultaneously. As result, significant improvement achieved heavy, light loadings be 95.05, 97, 98.3%, respectively. it minimizes of 81.16% under small standard deviation 4.76%. Also, 83-bus test considered fair comparative between previous techniques. simulation outputs revealed improvements demonstrated superiority effectiveness other reported results recent algorithms DSRs associated with DGs integration.
