The computer program has been developed in
FORTRAN to examine the efficiency of the
proposed algorithm. The problem of feeder
reconfiguration has been studied with the
network of Fig 5, which has been taken from
reference (3). Dotted lines in Fig 5 are the
tie lines and switches connecting nodes (3320), (34-8), (35,21), (36-17) and (37-28) are
open for the initial configuration.It has
been assumed that ON\OFF switches exist at
every node of the network. The line and load
data for the network are given in Table 3. As
already mentioned, network switches had been
closed based upon three diffrent criteria.
(1). Switch having 'maximum voltage across'
is closed first.
(2). Switch having 'minimum voltage across'
is closed first.
(3). Arbitrary switching.
Also, it has been mentioned that
three
different methods of varying accuracies have
been tested for getting a modified network
solution after a switch is closed.
In all the cases the problem converged to
the same solution. The method used for the
modified network solution did not affect the
decision regarding which switch is to open,
to restore the radial configuration from the
meshed network. The criteria used to select
the switch to be closed resulted in different
paths towards the final solution, but the
final solution remains the same. Table 4
shows the results of the proposed algorithm.
Modified network solutions obtained in three
different
methods resulted in the
same
switching decision. This, perhaps, is due to
the
fact
that
relative
accuracy
is
sufficient to make a decision
regarding

ALGORITHM

[ 1 ) The final configuration is not
dependent
upon the initial configuration of the feeders
(2) Since only one switch is closed at a
time, the problem is dimensionally small and
the solution is tast.
(3) The power flow method is very fast.
(4) The approximate solution methods used to
get modified solution after closing a switch
enhance the speed of the algorithm.
A
new heuristic algorithm
has
been
presented
in
this
paper
for
the
reconfiguration of distribution feeders. The
proposed algorithm
utilizes the
concept
of optimal flow pattern and is based on
a simple and flexible power flow method

authors. Test
