Abstract: This paper provides a new approach for solving the problem of network reconfiguration in the presence of Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). It is aimed at reducing actual power loss and enlightening the voltage profile in the supply system. The voltage and branch current capacity constraints have been included in the objective function evaluation. The method has been evaluated at three separate heuristic algorithms on 33-bus radial distribution systems to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method. In this paper the comparison of performance of two latest optimization techniques such as Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with classic optimization techniques such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The new optimization technique produces better result compare to other two optimization logarithm.
Keywords: Whale Optimization, Particle Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Distribution System.
