Distribution Feeder Reconfiguration for Complex Power Loss Minimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex power loss minimization is an important aspect of modern distribution systems. Complex power loss minimization leads to capacity reduction with improved voltage profile besides active power loss minimization under certain justified assumptions. This paper presents a simple, efficient and direct method for minimum complex power loss radial feeder reconfiguration in response to changing operating conditions. The method is based on the optimality condition, which has been derived analytically using incremental complex power concept. The method has been applied on different small to medium sized distribution systems and the results are presented. The implementation results of the method are promising and encouraging. Key-Words: Loss minimization, load flow, power distribution, System reconfiguration, Incremental loss, Radial network
