Abstract EN
Feeder reconfiguration is defined as altering the topological structures of distribution feeders by changing the open / closed states of the sectionalizing and tie switches.
In network reconfiguration for loss reduction, the solution involves a search over relevant radial configuration.
In this paper, a method, based on genetic algorithm (GA) to determine the minimum configuration is presented.
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search or optimization algorithm based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics.
Since GA is suitable to solve combinatorial optimization problems, it can be successfully applied to problems of loss minimization in distribution systems.
Test results are included to show the performance of the proposed method.
