Phasor measurement units (PMUs) become a necessity in the modern distribution system especially with the direction towards smart grid. The PMUs should be placed appropriately in the distribution network. The problem of optimal PMU placement for full observability is analyzed in literature. Distribution network reconfiguration for loss reduction is also analyzed in literature. This paper studies the...
This paper proposes two Bio-inspired heuristic algorithms to solve the power distribution network reconfiguration problem for loss minimization, "real ants'-behavior-inspired" Ant Colony Optimization ACO implemented in the Hyper Cube HC framework and "musicians'-behavior-inspired" Harmony Search IIS algorithm. The optimization problem is formulated taking into account the operational...
