Abstract
The most common problems encountered in any electrical distribution system are load unbalance and restoring service to healthy zones in the case of a fault. The load on the distribution network is not constant and varies from feeder to feeder throughout the day. In the event of a fault, network reconfiguration is performed to balance the loads and restore service to healthy zones. Network reconfiguration involves modifying the structure of a network by sectionalizing and tie switches. Through reconfiguration, loads can be transferred from a feeder that is relatively heavily loaded to one that is relatively lightly loaded. A hybrid Ant Lion Optimization and Improved Mayfly Optimization (ALO-IMO) technique for load balancing and restoring service is implemented in this paper. The proposed technique is employed for load balancing and restoring service on the IEEE 3 feeder system, as well as restoring service on the IEEE 4 feeder system.
