摘要:This paper addresses performance enhancement of distribution network with
distributed generator (DG) integration using modified particle swarm optimization
(PSO) algorithm. The effort of performance enhancement is done by using
optimization of distribution network configuration. The objective of the optimization
is minimizing active power loss and improving voltage profile while the distribution
network is maintained in the radial structure. In this study, configuration
optimization method is based on a modified PSO algorithm. The method has been
tested in an IEEE model of 33-bus radial distribution network test system and a reallife
radial distribution network of 60-bus Bantul distribution system, Indonesia. The
simulation results show the importance of reconfiguring the network for enhancing
the distribution network performance in the presence of DG.
