Abstract:
This paper presents a novel technique for loss
minimization in distribution systems with a voltage stability
indicator (VSI). A new VSI is modeled by considering
distribution system losses. This VSI is used to improve the
system stability parameters, reduce distribution loss and to
find the maximum loadability limit of the various
distribution conductors. Network reconfiguration is
implemented using minimum brach current method and
minimum voltage difference method. The proposed
technique is tested on IEEE 33 bus and an India real time
system of 62 bus using MAT LAB software environment. The
simulation results are presented to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed VSI.
