Abstract

A reliability based power distribution system reconfiguration methodology is described in this paper. Probabilistic reliability models are used in order to evaluate the reliability at the load points. An algorithm for finding the minimal cutsets is used to find the minimal set of components appearing between the feeder and any particular load point. The optimal statuses of the switches in the system are found by a binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) based search algorithm. The proposed methodology is applied on a modified IEEE 123 node test system.
