A novel intelligent neural optimizer with two objective functions is designed for electrical distribution systems. The presented method is faster than alternative optimization methods and is comparable with the most powerful and precise ones. This optimizer is much smaller than similar neural systems. In this work, two intelligent estimators are designed, a load flow program is coded, and a spe...

This paper presents an effective approach to simultaneous solution of capacitor setting and feeder reconfiguration for power-energy loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement in radial distribution systems. An optimization method using a Genetic Algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal selection size, location, type and number of fixed or switched capacitors as well as the open/closed...

Due to dynamic nature of loads, total system load is more than its generation capacity that makes relieving of load on the feeders not possible and hence voltage profile of the system will not be improved to the required level. In order to meet required level of load demand, Reconfiguration and DG units are integrated in distribution network to improve voltage profile, to provide reliable and u...

In this paper, the role of soft open point (SOP) is investigated with and without system re-configuration (SR) in reducing overall power losses improving voltage profile, as well effect increasing number SOPs connected to distribution systems under different scenarios using a proposed hybrid water cycle algorithm (HWCA). The HWCA formulated enhance (WCA) search performance based on genetic (GA)...

In case of redundant systems some kind of faults could be tolerated simply by changing the rulebase of the control system by a system (strategy) reconfiguration. One solution for this kind of system reconfiguration could be the combination of the fuzzy clustering based symptom evaluation and the hierarchical interpolate fuzzy reasoning the similarity based system reconfiguration. Its main idea ...

Network reconfiguration in distribution system is realized by changing the status of sectionalizing switches to reduce the power loss in the system. This paper presents a new method which applies an artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) for determining the sectionalizing switch to be operated in order to solve the distribution system loss minimization problem. The ABC algorithm is a new populat...

Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration(DPR) optimizes the resource utilization in the Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) over time and space nowadays. But the lack of standard tools and interface makes the extensive application of DPR rather difficult . With the open source Linux widely used in the Xilinx Zynq, users’ demand for the reconfiguration becomes urgent. Linux-based dynamic partial reconfig...

Nowadays on-line reconfiguration for computer networks is pursued as an alternative approach to keep performance levels when a mal function is presented in the system. In this case, reconfiguration is proposed in three stages. Firstly , computer network presents a degradation in time communication due to the appearance of certain local faults. Secondly, based upon this scenario a strategy for o...

This paper presents the method to solve the over loading problem and service restoration strategies for affected zones due to fault in a three feeder distribution network which deals with the estimation of load changes through feeder reconfiguration using the heuristic search technique. This method is based on minimum number of switching operations and minimum total IR losses. Software has been...
