Abstract

A distribution system is one of the most important parts of power systems which show a connection between power plants and loads. Each connection has an economic affection in transferring power from sources to loads. Power companies expect to find out an optimal configuration with great benefits which is the lowest power loss. This paper proposes an application of a genetic algorithm for finding out an optimal configuration which has the lowest power loss with constrains such as: unisolated loads, limited powers in lines and transformers and lowest voltage drops. The effectiveness of the proposal is confirmed through simulation results on power systems [3] as well as comparisons with other results of [1], [3], [6], [8]
