Chemical Reaction Optimization to Solve Reconfiguration Problem Along with Capacitor of Radial Distribution System

This paper presents, an efficient optimization technique, namely chemical reaction optimization (CRO) algorithm is developed for power loss minimization in radial distribution system by optimal reconfiguration of the network. To check the feasibility and effectiveness the proposed methodology is successfully implemented on two test systems like 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems. Moreover the numerical results are compared with other population based optimization technique like krill herd (KH) algorithm, oppositional krill herd (OKH) algorithm, fuzzy approach show that CRO could find better quality solutions. Finally, convergence graph is given to identify the robustness of above mentioned systems.
