The system optimization variables need to be opened to maintain the radial status of the network. Optimization variables are determined by artificial intelligence algorithm. The reconfiguration has been done in different loading condition. The performance of the proposed method is compared with other methods bacterial forging optimization (BFO), tabu search (TS), simulated annealing (SA) and modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO). The results show the superiority of the proposed method in solving the problem and loss reduction and improving the network voltage profile.
