This paper presents optimal reconfiguration of radial distribution network with integration of
distributed energy resources (DER) using modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The
advantages of integration of DER in distribution system are minimizing power losses, improving voltage
profiles and load factors, eliminating system upgrades, and reducing environmental impacts. However, the
presence of DER could also cause technical problems in voltage quality and system protection. Optimal
reconfiguration of distribution network is subjected to minimize power loss and to improve voltage profile in
order to enhance the efficiency the distribution system. In this study, reconfiguration method is based on
an improved PSO. The method has been tested in a 60-bus Bantul distribution network of Yogyakarta
Special Region province, Indonesia. The simulation results show that optimal reconfiguration of the
network with integration of DER has successfully enhancing the efficiency of the distribution system.
