چکیده

This paper describes a distributed planner that allows a self-reconfiguring robot consisting of heterogeneous modules to change configuration without using extra space. This work builds on previous work on reconfiguration planning for homogeneous robots and our recent work on heterogeneous reconfiguration planning that requires temporary working space to execute. Motivated by a specific algorithm for the distributed Crystal robot, we describe and analyze an O(n)-time reconfiguration algorithm for systems of modules with assigned types that uses a constrained amount of free space.

Optimal reconfiguration of radial distribution system with the aim of reducing losses and improving voltage profiles using the improved lightning search algorithm

In this paper, a modified version of the lightning search algorithm is proposed in order to find the optimal reconfiguration of the switches and locate and determine the optimal capacity of distributed generation sources in the distribution feeder. The main optimization goals are to reduce ohmic losses and voltage deviations in the standard 33-bus and 94-node IEEE feeders. The simulation result...
