Operational Cost Minimization of Electrical Distribution Network during Switching for Sustainable Operation

Continuous increases in electrical energy demand and the deregulation of power systems have forced utility companies to provide high-quality reliable services maintain a sustainable operation reduce electricity price. One way continue providing required while simultaneously reducing operational costs is through minimizing losses voltage deviation distribution network. For this purpose, Network Reconfiguration (NR) commonly adopted by employing switching enhance overall system performance. In past, work proposed researchers attain sequence was based on hamming distance approach. This approach caused search space grow with increase total Hamming between initial final configuration. Therefore, method paper utilizing Mixed Integer Second Order Cone Programming (MISOCP) optimal NR address issue. The dataset opted considering only radial configuration solutions achieve an sequence. addition, detailed economic analysis has been performed determine saving after implementation effectiveness technique validated simulations IEEE 33-bus network practical 71-bus Malaysia. result shows that determined for 33 bus 34.14% 25.5% from their configuration, respectively operation.
