Network Reconfiguration at the Distribution System with Distributed Generators

This article proposes a novel model for distribution network reconfiguration to meet current distribution system operating demands. In the model the connection of distributed generators to distribution system is considered, and from the view of the actual operation demands, operating modes are proposed to simulate the load changes and DG fluctuations and can be used to achieve the aim that the network reconfigures only once in a period. Then the binary particle swarm optimization algorithm with dynamic adaptation of inertia weight has been applied to solve the model. A typical example proved the feasibility and validity of the model and the algorithm.
