Abstract

Voltage stability improvement is an important issue in power
system planning and operation. This article presents the effect of re-
configuration in the presence of distributed generation (DG) in radial
distribution system to improve the voltage stability with different load
models by using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. The analysis
is accomplished using a voltage stability index which can be evaluated
at each node of the distribution system. The network reconfiguration
involves a mechanism for selection of the best set of branches to be
opened, one from each loop, such that the reconfigured radial distribu -
tion system possesses desired performance characteristics. The location
of DG has the main effect of voltage stability on the system. Simulation
study is conducted on 69-bus radial test system to verify the efficacy of
the proposed method.
