Effect of load variation on network reconfiguration and service restoration plans in balanced and unbalanced distribution systems is studied. Comprehensive survey of the conceptual aspect as well as published algorithms for distribution network reconfiguration is presented. Different reconfiguration networks and scenarios are discussed. Results showed the effectiveness of building restoration p...

Reduction of loss in a power distribution network is of utmost importance for any electrical utility. Recent years have seen development of various optimization techniques and computer technology which has made it possible to perform accurate analysis of distribution losses. The network reconfiguration of a distribution network is done by changing the status of sectionalizing switches by switch...
