Abstract

Dragonfly Optimization (DO) is a nature inspired optimization technique that imitates the static and dynamic swarming activities of dragonflies. The static swarm possessing smaller number of dragonflies hunts for preys in a small area, while the dynamic swarm with more number of dragonflies travels over long distances; and they represent the exploration and exploitation phases of the DO. This paper applies DO in solving reconfiguration problem of distribution systems with an objective of enhancing the voltage profile. It presents the results of 33 and 69-node distribution systems for illustrating the superiority of the proposed method.
