Abstract :
This paper proposed an improved evolutionary programming (IEP) technique to minimize distribution feeder losses. In the minimization process, switches were indicated by pre-assigned integers. In this paper, the authors focused on the minimization of the real power loss, as well as on voltage and current constraints subjected to the radial network structure. Many tests were conducted to show its effectiveness
