I. INTRODUCTION
studies show that a considerable part of the losses in power
systems is related to the electricity distribution network . There
are several ways to reduce losses in distribution system . Many
of methods need the new equipment installed within the system
in addition to the financial burden for companies, it is possible
new errors produce in network and due to disturbances in their
services .
One of the ways of reducing losses in the distribution
network is reconfiguration of MV distribution network .
reconfiguration is a simple and cheap way for loss reduction in
distribution systems because we dont need to invest capital
and set up new equipment in system . we can reduce the losses
only by change the state of existing switches. there are many
goals for reconfiguration of distribution systems such as :
1- reconfiguration in order to loss reduction.

total number of branches in the system. The aim of this study
is to minimize the power loss represented by (1) subject to the
following constraints. The voltage magnitude of each node of
each branch must lie within a permissible range. Here a branch
can be a transformer, a line section or a tie line with a
sectionalizing switch.
III. The information needed to design 20kv khorramabad
single line diagram in CYMDIST software environment
For simulation MV distribution network of Khorram Abad
in software environment and attention to the equations (1) in
previous section, the necessary information are included
details of local and electrical conditions of feeders , stations
and substations , the impedance of lines , load of transformers,
and .
we received them from Electricity Distribution Company of
Lorestan . Due to the large volume of the information ,as an
example the limited information from a station listed in table
1.

First considering received information such as the kinds of
impedances, peak load of buses, properties of lines, distances,
switches and ,the single line diagram with all details was
designed, which can be seen in figure 1 .
A. power flow analysis and calculate the losses before
reconfiguration
with complete information of network in the software
environment, after power flow analysis on feeders, the total
amount of losses under the title "losses before reconfiguration"
calculated that was nearly equivalent to 4066 kw. Due to large
number of feeders ,for example one report loss of the
"goldasht" feeder is shown in table 2 . its loss is about 196.8
kw.

software
With a renewed reconfiguration and put 20 number of
proposed keys by the software
in new positions ,the amount of total losses will be reduced.
the proposed keys in the table 5 and report of loss reduction in
the table 6 are shown. with renewed reconfiguration the loss
will be minimized and reduced about 6.34 percent .
you can see the complete report in the appendix of this
article. due to a large number proposed keys on single line
diagram ,we ignore showing all of their schematics and the
keys 3 ,4 ,5,16 and 17th will be represented in figures 4 and 5.

B) After reconfiguration
VI. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we study and simulate the Khorramabad MV
distribution network in CYMDIST software and calculate total
losses and load imbalance by power flow analysis before and
after optimal reconfiguration .results show that the total losses
and load imbalances will be reduced by suitable switch
optimization .
With a renewed reconfiguration and put the 20 number of
proposed keys by software in new positions ,the amount of
total losses will be reduced maximally .
