- Abstract
This paper presents a two-phase heuristic methodology aimed at the reconfiguration of a radial distribution network with the objective of minimizing the computational time. In the preliminary phase of the operation, all network switches are in a closed state, and it is proposed that a subsequent switch opening methodology be employed to achieve a configuration that approximates optimal radial characteristics. During the following phase, a specific pair of switches is identified from the radial DN to facilitate an exchange of their ON/OFF position. A mathematical framework, employing bus injection to formulate the branch current matrix, has been constructed to identify a pair of switches with the aim of minimizing the power dissipation...

This paper presents a two-phase heuristic methodology aimed at the reconfiguration of a radial distribution network with the objective of minimizing the computational time. In the preliminary phase of the operation, all network switches are in a closed state, and it is proposed that a subsequent switch opening methodology be employed to achieve a configuration that approximates optimal radial characteristics. During the following phase, a specific pair of switches is identified from the radial DN to facilitate an exchange of their ON/OFF position. A mathematical framework, employing bus injection to formulate the branch current matrix, has been constructed to identify a pair of switches with the aim of minimizing the power dissipation within the network subsequent to each exchange operation. The methodology put forth has been empirically evaluated on distribution networks comprising 33, 69, 84, 136, and 417 bus configurations, with the findings substantiating that the proposed technique facilitates the attainment of optimal configurations for radial distribution networks within a markedly reduced computational time.
