Abstract
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> This paper proposes a reconfiguration methodology based on an Ant Colony Algorithm (ACA) that aims at achieving the minimum power loss and increment load balance factor of radial distribution networks with distributed generators. A 33-bus distribution system and a Tai-Power 11.4-kV distribution system were selected for optimizing the configuration and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for solving the optimal switching operation of distribution systems. The simulation results have shown that lower system loss and better load balancing will be attained at a distribution system with distributed generation (DG) compared to a system without DG. Furthermore, the simulation results also satisfy and suitability reference merits of the proposal method. </para>
