Abstract

One of the most important components of electrical energy systems is power distribution networks, which is our interface between power transmission networks and micro and macro consumers.The main task of these networks can be considered as reducing the voltage level and preparing electrical energy for delivery to cosumers, which is done according to different structures and voltage levels. An example of extensive and important research in this area is the rearrangement of distribution networks. One of the effective optimization methods in network rearrangement is the use of heu ristic algorithms in order to find the best arrangement for the distribution network by considering various network constrants. In this paper, while modeling the problem of optimal rearrangement of power distribution networks with the aim of improving power quality, it is solved using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm both single-objective and multi-objective and the results from the simulation, it shows the successful performance and proper efficiency of the two methods od fingle-objective and multi-objective PSO optimization in this regard.
