A Heuristic Based Multi-Objective Approach for Network Reconfiguration of Distribution Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm for network reconfiguration based on the heuristic rules and fuzzy multiobjective approach with an improved Fast Decoupled load flow algorithm. Multiple objectives are considered to minimize the real power loss, deviation in bus voltages, branch current violation and for load balancing among feeders, while subjected to a radial network structure in which all loads kept energized. These four objectives are modeled with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature. Heuristic rules are also incorporated in the algorithm for drastically minimizing the number of tie-switch operations. An improved Fast Decoupled load flow algorithm with Single Matrix Model (FDC-SMM) has been proposed for distribution networks. The proposed algorithm is very effective in dealing with reconfiguration problems of single and multi-feeder networks
