Abstract

Feeder reconfiguration and capacitor placement are generally used for power loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement in radial distribution systems. This paper presents a joint optimization algorithm of combining feeder reconfiguration and capacitor placement for loss reduction. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is chosen to solve this combined optimization problem. The advantage of this method is that it can provide a global or near global optimum for feeder reconfiguration and capacitor placement. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated with 33-node radial distribution system.
