Optimal Conductor Selection of Radial Distribution Networks Using PSO Method

In this paper, we optimize an objective function to reduce the sum of capital cost and power loss cost and voltage deviation of radial distribution network of powersimultaneously. This results in saving substantial amount of energy. To reduce our objective function, we find optimized type of conductor by taking use of ParticleSwarm Optimization (PSO) method. This computational method, iteratively improve a potential type of conductor with respectto a given measure of quality to reach to the optimized type of conductor.
