Feeder reconfiguration is a common technique that is used by distribution system operators
during normal or emergency operational planning. By changing the status of switches on the …

This paper presents an original application of the Ant Colony Optimization concepts to the
optimal reconfiguration of distribution systems, with the objective of minimizing the …

A metaheuristic methodology for the reconfiguration of distribution system networks to
minimize power losses is presented. It is based on a simulation of behavior in ant colonies …

Distribution system reconfiguration is performed during normal or emergency operations by
changing the status of switches. System reconfiguration can be used for system loss …

Distribution system reconfiguration is one of the methods that is commonly used in order to
improve the system reliability and reduce the system real power loss. The distribution system …

This chapter presents meta‐heuristic optimization techniques for the solution of complex
power distribution system problems. These include active distribution networks (ADN) …

A power distribution system includes sectionalizing switches and tie switches. Sectionalizing
switches are normally closed switches while tie switches are normally open switches. By …

A configuração predominante de redes distribuição primária de energia elétrica é radial.
Encontrar uma configuração radial com a qual as perdas de potência sejam mínimas tem …

Power outages in an electrical power system are usually due to faults that occur in a
distribution network. A restoration procedure is being activated, in case the fault is …

A reconfiguração de sistemas de distribuição de energia elétrica consiste em alterar a
topologia das redes através da abertura ou fechamento das chaves de interconexão …
