Abstract

In Power Systems, distribution networks really spend amount of power loss. To reduce the power loss there are some solutions such as upgrading networks, setting capacitors at some places in networks, etc. This paper is concentrated on reconfiguring networks to reduce power loss. This means looking for a optimal configuration to operate the distribution 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. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm, computer simulations are carried out on 14, 33 bus systems and compared with different approaches available in the literature.
