Network Reconfiguration for Electrical Loss Minimization

---

---

Abstract

Increasing requirements of urbanization, industrialization and modernization demands further expansion and development of the national power grid and nonetheless, with a better efficiency and an enhanced voltage stability. The aim of this project is to conceptualize and realize an electric transmission and distribution network with improved efficiency and voltage stability that will contribute to the substantial reduction in the involved operational costs. Network Reconfiguration Methodology has been used. The study of this work was conducted on IEEE 14 bus network with Matlab tool using Newton-Raphson Method. The study also deals with how this technique can practically be implemented using Artificial Neural Network and sensors.
