A New Optimal Method for Load Transfer in Power Distribution Network

Abstract:

According to the problem that when power failure occurs in distribution systems, load transfer is to recover the load downstream failures without any violation as fast as possible. This target is reached by switch operations and load cut. Using the stochastic optimization method to the solution of the problem, we can improve the efficiency of solution for the operation personnel to provide the reference scheme of load transfer. Test results of a 33 bus sample network have shown that the new method for load recovery can significantly reduce the losses caused by the failures and improve system reliability.
