Research on network reconfiguration (NR) considering distributed generations (DG) is typically concerns on the issues of power loss, voltage deviation, DG sizing as well as its placement, which are important and required in the planning stage. On the other hand, another important aspect which often neglected in this stage is coordination of protection devices which is essential to prevent the network from damages following system breakdown. Without sufficient attention given to the protection coordination during NR, there is a possibility for the protective devices to miscoordinate and consequently lead to system blackout, due to changes in current flow and fault level. Therefore, this paper proposed an NR method for distribution networks with DG, incorporating protection devices. The proposed method aims to find the optimal configuration and DG size with minimum power loss, and at the same time ensuring protective devices operate correctly during normal and fault condition. Constraints on protection coordination and DG size are explicitly formulated in the proposed method. The validity of the proposed method is analyzed on three commonly used IEEE 33-bus, 69-bus and 118-bus distribution systems, employing the firefly algorithm (FA) and evolutionary programming (EP) algorithm. Comparative studies are done to prove the validity and robustness of the proposed method. |
