Distribution network reconfiguration using improved colonial competition optimization algorithm

Abstract

The implementation of a distribution network is generally aimed at increasing system efficiency, increasing the level of optimal operation, increasing the stability of the power grid, reducing blackouts, and increasing reliability. By providing general definitions of networks and the principles of optimal operation and reliability indicators and loss reduction in power systems, the general principles of network control and optimal operation are presented and finally, practical ideas for the optimal operation of power networks with The approach of increasing system reliability and maximum productivity of distributed production resources is presented. In the presence of a distribution network and by using appropriate control algorithms, it is possible to optimize the power network in different working conditions; After the occurrence of a disturbance in the network, the power system is exposed to instability. The network can restore the stability of the system by communicating critical conditions to the subscribers as well as rearranging the network structure and shut down the least number of subscribers. Implementation of a distribution network in general with the aim of increasing system efficiency, increasing the level of optimal exploitation, increasing the stability of the power grid, reducing outages and increasing reliability.
