Abstract

Designing an electrical power distribution system requires many stages of planning and rigorous calculations. One of the vital, integral parts of the planning process is selection of the conductors for design and upgrade of the distribution system. An ideal conductor set should minimise the combined investment cost of conductors and the annual cost of distribution system energy losses while complying the thermal capacity of conductors, system voltage profiles limits and provide best voltage profile for farthest end customers. Proposed method aims to reach the best optimal conductor selection for existing distribution system by solving the optimisation technique using the teaching learning-based optimisation technique with less parameter control. Simulations are executed and discussed by calculating the customer loss allocation before and after the optimal conductor selection in the distribution system. The examined results show the efficacy of the proposed algorithm to satisfy the objective function and constraints.
