摘要:This paper proposes a new method for loss reduction in distribution networks through network
reconfiguration taking into consideration the bus voltage limits and the thermal limits of the
network branches. The method presents the load flow equations in a simplified form which is
suitable for radial feeders. The load flow equations are formulated in a modified form that can
be adequate for network reconfiguration through opening and closing sectionalized and tie
switches while keeping its radial structure and ensuring the supply of all connected loads. The
Distributed Generation (DG) that is recently applied in distribution systems has been
considered in this paper. The validity of the proposed method has been verified using IEEE 16-
bus and 33-bus distribution systems. Furthermore, the comparative results confirm the
applicability and suitability of the proposed method.
