This paper presents an efficient algorithm for optimization of radial distribution systems by a feeder reconfiguration to balance feeder loads and eliminate overload conditions. The system load-balancing index is used to determine the loading conditions of the system and maximum system loading capacity. The index value has to be minimum in the optimal feeder reconfiguration of load balancing. A method based on Tabu search algorithm The Tabu search algorithm is employed to search for the optimal feeder reconfiguration. Simulation results for a radial 69-bus system with reconfiguration and capacitors placement. The study results show that the distribution system with capacitor placement and optimal on/off patterns of the switches feeders reconfiguration can be load balancing in distribution systems.

This thesis presents the combined loss reduction approach to apply in distribution system. The thesis objective reduces the loss in the distribution system when all voltage magnitude levels at connection points must under the limits. Therefore the Simulated Annealing Technical selects as searching tool to find the suitable location of DG and Capacitor. The propose technique applies to the distribution system 69 buses model. The results shown that this technique can reduce in power losses from properly organize the location of DG and Capacitor. Moreover it can also balance and increase the voltage levels. The propose Simulated Annealing Technical is used to determine and organize the sectionalizing and tie switches in the feeder which installs DG and Capacitor by considering the power losses and the number of time to change the status of disconnecting switches.
