GUI Based Network Reconfiguration System for Loss Minimization in Distribution Network

Ankur Agrawal, Prabodh Khamparia

Abstract: Network reconfiguration is a well-established method for power loss minimization in a complex distribution network. This paper presents a new approach on network reconfiguration based on genetic algorithm. For the same purpose a graphical user interface has been created which allows the operator to select IEEE bus system under consideration, the number of iteration and other vital parameters for the system. the complete system has been built and simulated using Matlab 7.12

Keywords: Network reconfiguration, power system, load flow analysis, genetic algorithm, graphical user interface
