Summary Reconfiguration of the distribution network (DN) is the changing of status of normally open and close switches for a specific purpose. In this paper, a situation is studied in which a fluctuating load (such as a welder) violates the network power quality (PQ) standards. Therefore, in order to mitigate the emission of the generated flicker, an optimization problem is developed for improving the PQ of the network comprising voltage flicker level and voltage profile in addition to the network power loss as a traditional objective of the DN reconfiguration. The optimization procedure is performed by changing the network configuration using tie and sectionalizing switches. Discrete particle swarm optimization is utilized to optimize the network configuration. The proposed method is evaluated in two DNs. IEEE standard 69‐bus DN and 95‐bus practical Iranian DN are considered as case study networks. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for improving the network PQ, especially in case of voltage flicker. The presented studies and procedure will guide the utility engineers in making decisions associated with the choice of reasonable mitigation technique to overcome the identified PQ problems.
