چکیده

Optimal expansion of medium-voltage power networks because of load growth is a combinatorial problem which is important from technical and economic points of view. The planning solutions consist of installation and/or reinforcement of high voltage/medium voltage (HV/MV) substations, feeder sections, distributed generation (DG) and storage units to expand the capacity of the network. The cost objective function of the system should be minimized subject to the technical constraints. Due to the complicacy and the complexity of the problem, it should be solved by modern optimization algorithms. In this paper, the most famous optimization algorithms for solving the distribution network planning problem are reviewed and compared, and some points are proposed to improve the performance of the algorithms. In order to compare the algorithms in practice, and verify the proposed improvement points, the numerical studies on three test distribution networks are presented. The results show that every algorithm has its own advantages and disadvantages in specific conditions. However, in general manner, the hybrid Tabu search/genetic algorithm (TS/GA) and the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm proposed in this paper are the best choices for optimal distribution network planning.
