The optimum feeder reconfiguration issue in a radial power distribution system is addressed in this research using a unique approach guided by an improved particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The financial component of an electrical power system is often determined mainly by the losses in the conductor lines. The improved particle swarm optimisation technique is used to reduce network active power loss in radial power distribution systems, which is the focus of the proposed research in this section. System power loss is included in the calculation as a cost function for each particle in the swarm. The MATLAB software is used to investigate the proposed approach for the radial distribution system. A significant level of system loss reduction and an appealing bus voltage profile can be shown in the case studies compared to earlier methodologies, such as genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimisation.
