Abstract

Power loss reduction by Distribution Network Reconfiguration (DNR) is the process of finding the network topology offering the least losses. In this paper, an efficient hybrid algorithm is presented for the DNR problem. Through the addition of 3 deterministic refinements (a ‘warm start’, elitism and the hill climbing strategy), in any heuristic algorithm, both time efficiency and reliability of convergence can be achieved. Testing was done on 6 standard test systems: 16, 33, 70, 118, 135 and 880 bus systems. The results obtained revealed better network configurations that provided lesser power loss than other reported results.
