Abstract

Using the heuristic search approach, this article has attempted a methodology to reduce power (I2R) loss through optimal reconfiguration in the radial distribution system, resulting in a better and optimal design. The suggested approach is verified by testing it on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus systems. MATLAB simulation is used to test the proposed solution and the results are presented in this paper.

Keywords
