Reconfiguration of distributed power distribution networks based on improved gravitational search algorithms

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of weak global search ability and premature convergence of GSA, a hybrid algorithm combining GSA and PSO is proposed. This algorithm can effectively use the advantages of PSO in global search. In addition, the update strategy of the gravitational constant is optimized, which improves the early search ability of the algorithm. Taking the reduction of network loss as the objective function, the improved algorithm is used to reconstruct the distribution network with distributed generation. The simulation results of the IEEE33 system show that this algorithm can efficiently decrease the network loss and enhance the node voltage.
