Abstract: This paper presents the reconfiguration of the distribution network in the presence of distributed generations (DGs) by considering two bus types i.e., P bus and PQV bus (remotely voltage controlled bus). The ‘P’ bus is represented by active power specification only whereas the PQV bus is one whose voltage is remotely controlled by the P bus. A methodology is proposed to select the P bus for controlling the voltage magnitude of remotely located PQV bus. A sensitivity analysis approach is used for selecting the buses for the placement of DGs operating at unity power factor. The placement of DGs is done in two ways i.e., non-sequential placement and sequential placement of DG in a distribution network. Genetic algorithm (GA) technique is used for the optimization of DGs followed by network reconfiguration. The objective function for network reconfiguration in this paper is considered to be real power loss reduction. Effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through examples of 33 bus and 69 bus distribution networks.
