Abstract: Distribution system reconfiguration is done by altering the open / close position of two kinds of switches: usually open tie switches and sectionalizing switches usually closed. Its main purpose is restoration of supply via other route to improve reliability, sometimes for load balancing by relieving overloads. Feeder reconfiguration is very good alternative to reduce power losses and improve voltage profile to improve overall performance. Distribution system reconfiguration is a very cost effective way to reduce the distribution system power losses, enhance voltage profile and system reliability. This paper presents application of novel Discrete – improved binary particle swarm optimization (D-IBPSO) algorithm for distribution system reconfiguration for minimization of real power loss and improvement of voltage profile. The algorithm is implemented to a 16-bus, 33-bus system and a 69-bus system considering different loading conditions. The simulation results indicate that the suggested technique can accomplish optimal reconfiguration and significantly reduce power losses on the supply scheme and enhance the voltage profile.
