A Simple Method for Feeder Reconfiguration and Service Restoration of Distribution Networks

摘要

This article proposes a simple method to solve the distribution feeder reconfiguration problem for loss reduction and service restoration. By using the proposed algorithm, a more efficient network configuration can be obtained to reduce loss. The method is suggested for very simple feeder reconfiguration and does not involve any mathematical expressions. The test results reveal that the proposed method yields optimal configuration with reduced computation burden and a better restoration plan.
