“…It is specified as changing the open/closed status of sectionalizing and connects switches to modify the topological structure of distribution networks. Depending on the size of the loads, the size and length of the conductor, the configurations can be switched manually or automatically [12]. Under normal operating conditions, changing the radial structure of the feeders on a regular schedule can significantly improve the overall system's operating conditions; such transfers are efficient not only in terms of changing the level of loads on the feeders being switched, but also in terms of reducing the overall system's operating costs [13].…”

The main challenge of present distribution networks is the huge increase in demand for electricity especially in city center where the demand is increasing vertically for the same geographical area. This work presents the analyses of 5-Mail distribution network in Basra City/Iraq with conventional system 33/11/0.416 kV, at future load by estimating the increase in load 10 years later. The network is analyzed in terms of voltage drop, power losses, and the feeder loading. To improve the network the 33/11/0.416 kV system is re-analyzed at the expected future load using the optimal reconfiguration of the network or adding capacitor placement to reduce losses and voltage drop. The results of these methods are compared with the results of the network re-analyzed using the proposed 33/0.416 kV system at future load. The results show that the proposed method of upgrading the voltage level of distribution network is the best solution. The GIS software is used to locate the distribution transformers and lying of the underground cables. CYME software is used to simulate the electric distribution system and conduct the load flow and other analyses.The GIS software is used to locate the distribution transformers and lying of the underground cables.

“…Any optimization strategy begins with a well-connected distribution network, which is achieved by presuming that closed all switches are. To eliminate the loops, the switches are then opened one by one [23]. The opening process is based on a minimum increase in total losses, which is computed utilizing a "Load-Flow program," as shown in Figure 1 (in Appendix).…”

Voltage stability is necessary to maintain the grid system healthily. The load demand has been steadily increasing that causing high losses and voltage drops, endangering the system's stability. This study proposes the suitable insertion of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) based on voltage stability margin (VSM) with optimum network reconfiguration (ONR) to reduce losses and enhance the voltage profile. The findings are acquired utilizing recommended methodologies and test systems such as the IEEE-33 bus and 39 bus of an Iraqi distribution network, which are done using CYME and MATLAB software. The proposed approach may be able to solve the problem by aiding distribution network operators in estimating the size and location of DSTATCOM.

“…System reliability subdivisions can be analyzed by improvement, i.e., generation, transmission, and distribution, by reducing the duration or number of service interruptions for customers [2]. There is a growing trend to incorporate DG units into the electrical power delivery system due to the environmental and economic values, reducing power losses, improving the voltage profile [3][4][5], etc. Usually, DGs are integrated near load centers that help to minimize the cost of transporting electric power.…”

 The Enhanced Particle Swarm (EPSO) algorithm is proposed and successfully applied to the simultaneous distributed generation (DG) planning and distribution network.  The EPSO technique is proposed to handle the problem with the multiobjectives of total active power loss minimization and bus voltage profile improvement.  ETAP program was employed to assess the distribution system reliability after inserting the DG units in the optimal place and size.Due to increased load demands, distribution systems suffer from high power losses, low voltage levels, high current, and low reliability. To solve these problems, integrate distributed generator units (DG) into the distribution system. DG units are among the most popular methods of improving distribution system reliability, power losses, and bus voltage improvement through the placement and selection of distributed generator units in an optimal location and size. This work proposed Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technology to find the optimum location and size of DG units to reduce power losses, improve bus voltage level, and employed the Transient Electricity Analyzer (ETAP) to evaluate the reliability of the distribution system network. ETAP is a programming tool for modeling, analysis, design, optimization, operation, and control of electrical power systems. These findings may be useful in conducting reliability assessments and correctly utilizing dispersed generation sources for future power system growth by power utilities and power producer companies.The proposed method was employed on the Iraqi distribution system (AL-Abasia distribution network (F10 feeder)). After adding three DG units to the distribution system, theer adding three DG units to the distribution system, the obtained simulation results showed a significant reduction in power losses, voltage levels, and reliability enhancement.
