This paper describes and efficient and robust method and a developed software package for the restoration of radial distribution networks for the purpose of reconstructing normal operating conditions. The proposed methodology uses combined heuristic approach and mix integer programming for solving the network restoration problem. Due to its compuattional efficiency, this approach can be used in both the panning and operating environments. Important implementional aspects of the methodology and the results of its application on realistic distribution networks are presented.
