Abstract: The main aim of the distribution system is delivery the power to the consumers. Because of, aging of electrical infrastructure, old control mechanism, increased power demand causing exploitation of the present electrical networks leads to low voltage profile, more active and reactive power loss with various power quality related issues causing poor network operation. In this method maximization of voltage profile with energy loss minimization is carried using network reconfiguration along with optimal siting of the distributed generation (DG). The proposed methodology is carried out on five bus system. The obtained results are impressive interms of voltage stability and power loss reduction.
