Abstract:
This study presents the implementation of Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) to minimize the power losses in the distribution network by improving selection operator pertaining to the least losses generated from the algorithm. The major part of power losses in electrical power network was highly contributed from the distribution system. Thus, the need of restructuring the topological of distribution network configuration from its primary feeders should be considered. The switches identification within different probabilities cases for reconfiguration purposes are comprehensively implemented through the proposed algorithm. The investigation was conducted to test the proposed algorithm on the 33 radial busses system and found to give the better results in minimizing power losses and voltage profile.
