Abstract

It is very important to determine the loading of distribution network because it helps in distribution system planning and network reconfiguration etc. In this paper enhancement of maximum loading of radial distribution feeders using genetic algorithm is proposed. The enhancement is done by the optimal conductor selection of radial distribution system. The effect of load models on the enhancement of maximum loading is also investigated. The load growth period is also considered in the investigation. With the proposed method optimal set of conductors are selected by maintaining acceptable voltage limits and current carrying capacity of the feeders. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated with 32-node practical radial distribution system. The proposed method will reduce the real and reactive power losses and also improves the voltage profile.
