The role of distribution network operator (DNO) becomes more crucial to manage intermittent demanded power from distribution network. This paper presents the combined effects of demand response (DR) program, wind generator, as a renewable energy source and network reconfiguration on distribution network. In this work, two DR programs are incorporated namely, emergency demand response program (EDRP) and time of use program (TOU) for demand side management. The intermittent nature of wind power is characterized by Rayleigh probability distribution function considering overestimation and underestimation cost of available wind power. To find out the optimal location and size of wind generators particle swarm optimization with constriction factor (PSO-CFA) algorithm is used. IEEE standard 33-node distribution network is considered for the study. It is found that combined effect of DR programs, network reconfiguration and distributed generator placement makes system economical for operation.
