| Summary: | In power system industry, distribution losses and uninterrupted supply are the important
aspect, which need to be fulfilled as the energy consumption by customers going up day
by day. The power losses in transmission and distribution lines has been analysed and
found that the losses are mostly coming from distribution lines. A method called Network
Reconfiguration has been proposed in this project to overcome the complication in
distribution network. Network reconfiguration is a method where it alters the topology of
distribution network switches with maintaining the distribution network constraints for
some given expected objectives. This project focused on distribution network
reconfiguration (DNR) using Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO). The main
objective of this project is to reduce the distribution losses and improve the voltage
profile of the overall system, which eventually improve the reliability of the network
using Network Reconfiguration considering BPSO. This (BPSO) method will be applied
in 16, 33 IEEE bus distribution network to analyse the impact of this method on
distribution network. The simulation was successful and the functionality of Binary
Particle Swarm Optimization in distribution system is proved with reduced power losses
and improvement in voltage profile. The total power loss using Newton Raphson method
is 208.46kW and with Network Reconfiguration is 138.93kW in 33-Bus Distribution
Network. The significant reduction in loss is followed by the improvement of voltage
profile where the lowest voltage profile for Newton Raphson method is 0.9108 and using
BPSO, it has been improved to 0.9475. From the results, we can see that the objectives is
being met. The outcome of this study is to be an aid for the electrical engineer who works
in utility company to solve the distribution system losses and voltage profile problems
using the proposed method to improve the reliability of the overall network. |
