Enhancement of Maximum Loading For Radial Distribution Network

Abstract

In this Thesis work, an attempt has been made for reconfiguration of electric power distribution system. A new formula for computing the reconfiguration of any distribution network is proposed in this thesis work. The node having the minimum value of voltage deviation w.r.t pu value is the most sensitive node. Using example of 69-node radial distribution networks, it has been shown that the node having the minimum value of voltage deviation w.r.t pu value become most sensitive node using the proposed method which is also the end node. The critical values of total real power load (TPL) and total reactive power load (TQL) for constant power are derived out for the sub-station voltage of 1.0 pu. for 69-node radial distribution network. The proposed method will reduce the real and reactive power losses, improves voltage profile and enhances the loading capability of distribution network. The voltage deviation is reduced to 6% from 10%.The superiority of the proposed method has been established by taking results iteratively and comparing with other literatures.
