This paper presents a new algorithm to solve the distribution power system restoration problem based on a joint application of tabu search (TS) algorithm and the node-depth encoding (NDE). The integration of NDE, its ...

This paper proposes a method based on Artificial Immune Systems for data management solutions provided by a model used to train power grid and find possible solutions to the problem of restoration of electricity distribution ...

Energy supply interruption by permanent faults causes economic and social problems, dissatisfaction of customers and penalization to electrical power distribution companies. In the procedure to restore distribution networks, ...

This paper proposes an evolutionary computing strategy to solve the problem of fault indicator (FI) placement in primary distribution feeders. More specifically, a genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to search for an efficient ...

This article presents a new mathematical model to solve the restoration problem in balanced distribution systems with distributed generators (DGs) considering closed-loop topology operation during the restorative state. ...

This paper proposes a relaxed mathematical model to solve the restoration problem of radial and balanced electrical distribution systems. The mathematical model is a mixed-integer linear programming formulation that can ...

Distribution network restoration is a recurrent issue of interest to power industry because electric distribution grids remain vulnerable against natural disasters and customers' expectations toward the continuity of ...

Problems in power distribution system reconfiguration (PDSR), such as service restoration, power loss reduction, and expansion planning, are usually formulated as complex multi-objective and multi-constrained optimization ...
