The performance index (PI), which has been used by contingency ranking for transmission systems, is used to estimate the capability of real power loss reduction for each switching operation. By this method, the system loss can be solved very quickly as compared with the method of conventional three phase load flow analysis. It is important from the view point of computing time required because so many possible switching combinations are involved during the process to achieve the loss minimization of distribution systems. After calculating the PI value of all possible switching operations, two stage searching approach instead of conventional binary integer programming (BIP) is proposed to solve the optimal switching process for distribution systems. The evaluation function used to represent system loss reduction is derived and the depth first search algorithm is then applied to find the search level with the largest effect of loss reduction. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a practical distribution systems of Taiwan Power Company is selected for computer simulation. It is found that the feeder reconfiguration can be easily solved to result in system loss minimization with much less computing effort as compared with the previous works presented.","PeriodicalId":241767,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The technique requires actual ineasurenient of system harmonic impedance. The scheme is based on constrained selective optimization perforinance criteria, of weighted System and filter harmonic currents and the harmonic voltage, for specified continuous or discrete range of dominant liarrnonics of stipulated fi-equencies. The proposed technique cat1 replace the existing trial and error approach with a guided constrained optimization that ensure the best design offering low cost, harmonic reduction and possibly a degree of reactive power coinpensation in the system. INTRODUCTION The priinary goal of series and sliurit passive harmonic filters is to reduce harmonic injection into the host electric utility grid and/or other sensitive type loads. Secondary objectives include reactive conipensation and power factor correction. Series filters presents high impedance path to particular harmonics, hence act as a blockiiig filter. Parallel or shunt type harmonic filters are used extensively in power networks to provide a low impedance path to dominant interfering harmonics generated by the nonlinear static or dynamic load. They are classified into single tuned, double tuned, high pass damped and C-type filters [l-21. Best harmonic filters should ensure maximum absorption of interfering Irarmonics at tniriirnuni cost while ensuring adequate level of reactive power compensation. However, this goal is usually hampered with the ever varying conditions in the system due to topology changes as a result of line switchings, load operating conditions necessitating capacitor energization and deenergization. The classical design philosophy [3-51 employs correction factors to account for the detuning effect due to small frequency variations as well as (L) and (C) Component variations due to temperature and aging. Different criteria do exist for filter design including telephone interference, voltage distortion and current distortion levels or a weighted measure of allowable waveforin distortion [G-81. Usually a composite criteria based on liarnionic voltage and harmonic system currents provide the most cost effective solution. To allow for Complete Control of the filter design process, a new approach based on selective constrained optimization problem is utilized.
