Abstract

The present paper will introduce an improved BPSO algorithm for radial distribution networks reconfiguration. In this regard PSO algorithm has extensively been used in many of the previous literatures; however, here a new method will be introduced in order to update swarm position which is not only simple and fast but also has high accuracy. The objective function has four weighted components representing load balancing, total losses of network, voltage deviation and system reliability. The test network is a standard distribution system with 3 feeder and 16 switches. Accuracy and speed of proposed method are compared with three other well-known algorithms to ensure its efficiency
