A heuristic method for feeder reconfiguration and service restoration in distribution networks

Control model for distributed generation and network automation for microgrids operation

“…These methods can be divided in mathematical methods and metaheuristic methods. Among the mathematical methods, mixed integer linear program (MILP) is one of the powerful techniques, as shown in [8][9][10][11][12]. Among the meta-heuristic methods, which genetic algorithm is one of them, several techniques, such as: tabu search, particle swarm optimization, or evolutionary method, could be used to solve this problem [13][14][15][16][17].…”

Novel methodology for optimal reconfiguration of distribution networks with distributed energy resources

“…For example, the load uncertainty is handled by segregating the load profiles based on customer type [4], maximum and average demand of the system [27] or other stochastic procedures as in [14]. This paper uses SA method to account for DER uncertainty.…”

Towards optimal post-fault self-healing in future smart distribution grids

“…Accordingly, most researches on service restoration focus on the first step of the decomposed approach by: composite heuristics [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], evolutionary algorithms [11][12][13][14][15], and expert systems [16] among others, for a comprehensive literature survey up to 2010 about the entire service restoration topic the reader is referred to [1].…”
