Description
Summary:This article represents an application of the grey wolf optimisation (GWO) algorithm to solve the most optimistic combinatorial problems for optimal distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) and allocation of distributed generators (DGs) in a system. In this work, a metaheuristics algorithm is utilised to minimise the active power losses (APL) and enhance the voltage profile. Various scenarios were considered in this context to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm under voltage and current capacity constraints. Furthermore, a detailed validation via comparison of the results is being carried out with other methods from the exhaustive literature. The proposed algorithm reduces the APL by 63.13%, 56.19%, and 34.27% with DNR in IEEE 33, 69 and 118-bus systems. Similarly, APL reduction by 69.61%, 82.09%, and 36.08% with DNR considering DGs simultaneously. The results show that the proposed algorithm is an effective and promising method to solve problems similar to this work.
