Abstract
To mitigate the effect of the distributed generation (DG) connection on the voltage profile and power loss, the DG optimal configuration and network reconfiguration are used in distribution automation. In this paper, a new optimization method named Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA) is proposed, unifying the DG optimal configuration and network reconfiguration. The DG locations and capacities are coded by integral and real numbers simultaneously in the proposed method. The integer mesh-network coding method is integrated into the new method to solve the network reconfiguration problem. The new method is compared with the Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) as well as the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Results demonstrate that the proposed method has advantages in improving the voltage profile and reducing the power loss.
