- Abstract
- In this paper, applying graph theory, Benefit of Distribution Companies (BDC) and factors exerting an impact on it havebeen analyzed in order to optimize efficiency of distribution assets. Firstly BDC model is presented. Proposed model lends a comprehensive framework of indices which have an impact on BDC. Afterwards, it deals with techniques of improving the indices which have an impact on BDC so call effective factors. To determine the maximum BDC value, one should analyze the relations existing between indices and the amount of investments as well as the relations signifying their impact on BDC. Also, in view of the fact that the indices impact each other reciprocally, not to mention variability of factors associated with them, the analysis environment is going to be highly intricate hence necessitating application of a novel graph theory-based algorithm. In this algorithm, the target function of BDC is tried to be maximized through delineation of relations by the help of a graph, optimization of the weight of final graph node. Eventually, numerical studies are carried out on a real distribution system.
