Abstract

This paper presents a technical application of the Particule Swarm Optimization - PSO technique to a reconfiguration problem of a electrical energy distribution system. The proposed methodology consists of the use of the maximization function of the number of loads supplied and the loss minimization by the expansion of the original PSO. The approach utilized the Distribution_System_01. A number of tests were carried out in the system to simulate several fault occurrences in the electrical energy transmission lines. The PSO algorithm encountered the optimal solution in a reasonable CPU time, compared to the dimension of the distribution system.
