Abstract


This paper presents a new optimization method based on the Hybrid Symbiotic organism Search Algorithm (HSOS) for the reconfiguration of a power distribution network for minimizing active power losses and maximizing voltage at each node. The HSOS method is a new metaheuristic algorithm that improves the Symbiotic organism Search (SOS) algorithm. This new technique is a combination of the SOS and the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. It is applied on an IEEE 33 nodes test network. The results obtained show that HSOS is more efficient than many others metaheuristic algorithms.


Keywords: HSOS, metaheuristic algorithm, Power distribution network, PSO,
reconfiguration, SOS.
