This paper delineates a novel method of network reconfiguration for the compensated network. A two-stage methodology is used to reduce the losses and to improve the voltage profile of the balanced radial distribution networks. In the first stage, capacitors are placed optimally for the reactive power compensation of the original network. Fuzzy approach is used to find the optimal capacitor locations and Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) method is used to find the sizes of capacitors. In the second stage, an improved fuzzy multi-objective algorithm is used for the network reconfiguration of the compensated network. The proposed method is tested on 33-bus and 69-bus test systems and the results are presented.

Abstract


This paper delineates a novel method of network reconfiguration for the compensated network. A two-stage methodology is used to reduce the losses and to improve the voltage profile of the balanced radial distribution networks. In the first stage, capacitors are placed optimally for the reactive power compensation of the original network. Fuzzy approach is used to find the optimal capacitor locations and Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) method is used to find the sizes of capacitors. In the second stage, an improved fuzzy multi-objective algorithm is used for the network reconfiguration of the compensated network. The proposed method is tested on 33-bus and 69-bus test systems and the results are presented.
