In ths paper, the Network Reconfguraton problem wll be formulated as mult objectve optmzaton problem wth equalty and nequalty constrants. The proposed soluton s based on optmzaton algorthms known as Network Reconfguraton Algorthms and Cutset Approach. The proposed Algorthms have been mplemented on IEEE 33-Bus Radal Dstrbuton System usng MATLAB/ETAP. The comparson of varous Network Reconfguraton Algorthms s also consdered wth respect to power loss and Relablty Indces. Optmal Placement of Capactor has been consdered for loss reducton. Keywords Radal Dstrbuton System, Dstrbuton Load Flow, Network Reconfguraton, Voltage Stablty Index, Performance Indces, Optmal Capactor Placement. I. INTRODUCTION The networks are reconfgured to reduce system real power losses and accomplsh load balancng to releve network overloads. The Voltage Stablty of the Electrcal Dstrbuton Systems (EDS) can be enhanced f the loads are rescheduled by network reconfguraton [1], whch also allows smoothng the peak demands, mproves the voltage profle and Relablty. Relablty evaluaton can be used to evaluate past performance and predct future performance of the EDS. It also dentfes the problematc components n the system that can mpact Relablty. It can also help to predct the relablty performance of the system after any expanson and quantfy the mpact of addng new components to the system. Relablty evaluaton technques developed by [2] are appled n EDS plannng studes and operaton. A method whch apples an artfcal Bee Colony algorthm (ABC) for determnng the sectonalsng swtch to be operated n order to solve EDS loss mnmzaton problem[3]. A Tabu search algorthm for the Reconfguraton of EDS for mnmzng the real power loss s proposed n [4]. An approach usng Dstrbuton Load Flow soluton and a Network Reconfguraton Algorthm (NRA) s consdered n [5, 6] whch mproves voltage profle, Relablty and Voltage Stablty Index (VSI) besdes mnmsng losses. A method was proposed to operate EDS at ts optmum performance wth Network Reconfguraton n [7]. A method to reduce the Actve Power Loss (APL) and Reactve Power Loss (RPL) and to mprove the Voltage Stablty n EDS wth nstallaton of capactor banks s proposed n [8, 9]. A smple modfcaton to the Bnary Partcle Swarm Optmzaton (BPSO) called selectve partcle swarm optmzaton (SPSO) [10]. The man objectve of ths paper s to conceptualze and realze EDS wth mproved Relablty and Voltage Stablty that wll contrbute to the substantal reducton n the EDS loss by usng Network Reconfguraton. II. PROBLEM FORMULATION It s consdered that the voltage should be wthn the specfed tolerance lmts. Radal Dstrbuton System s only consdered, Feeder reconfguraton s performed by selectng among all possble confguratons, the one that gves mnmum falure ndces and ncurs the smallest power losses, and satsfes a group of constrants. The objectve functon s to mnmze the Actve power losses of dstrbuton system PL and relablty ndces, consderng the followng constrants. 1. de voltage constrant: V V V mn max where V mn and V max are the mnmum and maxmum permssble RMS voltages of node respectvely. 2. Load connectvty: Each load bus should be connected va one path to the feeder. 3. Radal Network structure: loops are allowed n the network.

These matrces explore the topologcal structure of dstrbuton system. 2. Relablty Evaluaton Basc Probablty Indces (BPI) to evaluate system relablty are gven by Average falure rate (λ) k ks Average annual outage tme (U) U f/yr (1) krk ks hrs / yr (2) Average outage tme (r) r U hrs (3) Where λ s the system falure rate at th load pont, U s system annual outage duraton at th load pont, λ k, r k are the falure rate and average repar tme of k th dstrbutor segment, S s the set of dstrbutor segments connected n seres up to th load pont.

Network Reconfguraton Algorthms The Network Reconfguraton Algorthms (NRA) wth the followng condtons have been consdered. 1. Wth VSI condton, consderng only adjacent sectonalzng swtch wth Maxmum VSI dfference. 2. Wthout VSI condton, consderng only adjacent sectonalzng swtch wth Maxmum VSI dfference. 3. Wth VSI condton, consderng only adjacent sectonalzng swtch wth Mnmum VSI dfference. 4. Wthout VSI condton, consderng only adjacent sectonalzng swtch wth Mnmum VSI dfference. 5.

The Network Reconfguraton Algorthms wth the above condtons have been appled to 33-bus Radal Dstrbuton System and results are analysed and t s found that NRA wth 6 th Condton gves better mprovement n voltage profle, Relablty and reducton n power loss and hence t has been explaned n the next subsecton. 4. Optmal Network Reconfguraton Algorthm(NRA wth 6 th condton) The proposed Network Reconfguraton Algorthm s used to search the better swtchng combnaton that mproves the voltage stablty, voltage profle and Relablty and reduces losses by consderng a te swtch and ts adjacent sectonalsed swtch, one at a tme, and contnues the search process untl there s no further mprovement n voltage stablty and there s no further reducton n power loss and relablty Indces. Before the reconfguraton s accepted, a load flow analyss s needed to make sure the losses, performance ndces are decreased. If the result s negatve, the reconfguraton network must reset to prevous network condton. The algorthmc steps for Network Reconfguraton of Dstrbuton System are gven as follows:

Step 2: Run the Dstrbuton Load Flow usng BIBC, BCBV matrx approach and compute voltages, VSI, real and reactve power losses, performance ndces SAIFI, SAIDI,CAIDI and ASUI. Step 3: Check whether all the bus voltages are wthn the specfed tolerance lmts or not. V V V.e. wthn 6% of the rated mn max voltage; 0.94 V 1. 06, If so, go to step 10. Step4: Fnd the VSI dfference between the end nodes k and m of te swtches wth zero flag. Choose the teswtch wth largest VSI dfference. Step 5: Check whether VSI at k th node s larger than VSI at m th node, f so, go to step 7 Step 6: Open the sectonalzng swtch between k and k-1 or k-1 and k-2 or any swtch that gves mnmum losses and performance Indces and go to Step 8. Step 7: Open the sectonalzng swtch between m and m-1or m-1 and m-2 or any swtch that gve mnmum losses and performance Indces (PI). Step 8: Connect the te swtch and set flag equal to 1. Step 9: Calculate power losses f not 0 < P L, Q L P Lb, Q Lb, open te swtch and close sectonalzng swtch and go to step 2. Step 10: Calculate relablty ndces: SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI and ASUI If not 0<SAIFI (SAIFI) b ; 0<SAIDI (SAIDI) b ;0 < CAIDI (CAIDI) b ; 0 < ASUI (ASUI) b, open te swtch and close sectonalzng swtch and go to step 2. Step 11: Check the te swtches flag equal to 1 or not, If not go to step 2. Step 12: Prnt V, (VSI), P L, Q L, SAIFI, SAIDI,CAIDI and ASUI. The algorthmc steps are shown as Flowchart n Fgure 1. IV. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS Consder a 33-bus RDS shown n Fg.2. Lne, bus and relablty data of 33-bus RDS are gven n [5]. The NRA s mplemented n MATLAB, appled to 33-bus RDS and analyss s done. The converged values of Voltage magntudes, phase angle and VSI for the Base confguraton shown n Fg. 2 are gven n Table 1. Actve power loss (APL) of the system s kw. The VSI dfference between two sdes of the te swtch n between s larger so ths te-swtch s to be closed frst. As VSI of 22 s greater than VSI of 12, the swtch n the branch s opened. w the APL s kw whch s smaller than the ntal value so keep on searchng n the drecton. Fnally when the swtch n between 9-10 closed, APL s kw whch s mnmum for ths loop wth te swtch n between s closed. For ths reconfguraton, next te swtch s to be closed s n between 25-29, and then repeat the procedure andsoluton s to open the swtch n between wth APL kw. Next te swtch to be closed n between 9-15, and the swtch to open n between 14-15, wth APL kw. The procedure s repeated untl the fnal optmal confguraton s acheved. Thus the APL s kw after reconfguraton and the fnal optmal confguraton s shown n Fg. 3, the te swtches are n between 9-10, 28-29, 33-32, and Bus Sectonalzng Swtch Te Swtch Slack Bus Fg. 2 Lne Dagram of 33-bus RDS for Base Confguraton
