Network reconfiguration is an operation to modify the network topology. The implementation of network reconfiguration has many advantages such as loss minimization, increasing system security and others. In this paper, two topics about the network reconfiguration in distribution system are briefly described. The first topic summarizes its impacts while the second explains some heuristic optimiz...

this paper presents a new hybrid method for optimal multi-objective reconfiguration in a distribution feeder in addition to determining the optimal size and location of multiple-distributed generation (dg). the purposes of this research are mitigation of losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in distribution systems. to reduce the search space, the improv...

Programmable networks allow third parties to reprogram networking devices. By opening up the execution environment of routers, firewalls, gateways, etc., users and service providers can adapt the behavior of these devices to meet their own specific needs. Programmable networks are therefore an interesting technology to build adaptive networks and to support the increasing evolution of networkin...

This paper presents a new method to solve the network reconfiguration problem. The uncertainty of system loads on different feeders which vary from time to time makes the distribution system operation and its control more complex. For a fixed network configuration power loss is not minimum in a distributed network. Hence, there is a necessity for reconfiguration of the network. Network reconfig...
