Abstract This study examines various issues arising in three-phase unbalanced power distribution networks (PDNs) using a comprehensive optimization approach. With the integration of renewable energy sources, increasing energy demands, and the adoption of smart grid technologies, power systems are undergoing a rapid transformation, making the need for efficient, reliable, and sustainable distribution networks increasingly critical. In this paper, the reconfiguration problem in a 37-bus unbalanced PDN test system is solved using five different popular metaheuristic algorithms. Among these advanced search algorithms, the Bonobo Optimizer (BO) has demonstrated superior performance in handling the complexities of unbalanced power… More >
