Abstract

The topology of an electrical distribution system (EDS) can be suitably modified to minimize the real and reactive losses. EDS is normally unevenly loaded and hence often need load balancing, which can also be achieved by suitably reconfiguring the network. This paper presents a new approach for reconfiguration of EDS based on efficient analysis in Cymdist software package. The proposed method is tested in 11 KV distribution system for loss minimization.
