배전 계통에서 손실 감소를 위한 시뮬레이티드 어닐링의 적용

This paper presents a efficient algorithm for loss reduction of distribution system by automatic sectionalizing switch operation in distribution systems of radial type. Simulated Annealing can avoid escape from local minima by accepting improvements in cost, but the use of this algorithm is also responsible for an excessive computation time requirement. To overcome this major limitation of Simulated Annealing Algorithm, we may use advanced Simulated Annealing Algorithm. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
