Practical Solution for the Reconfiguration Problem in Electrical Distribution Networks: A Constructive Heuristic Approach

The problem regarding the reconfiguration of electrical distribution grids is addressed in this research through implementation a practical solution using constructive heuristic algorithm. most important characteristic proposed approach its low-computation effort, given that few power flow solutions are required order to solve problem. algorithm starts exploration space by closing all tie lines form fully meshed network. line with minimum current permanently opened. A new evaluation made for system, and opened if only action does not generate isolated nodes. This procedure repeated until number closed equal nodes minus one, which condition maintain radial configuration. Numerical validations test feeders composed 16, 33, 69, 84, 136, 415 demonstrate finds adequate processing times. companies since requires tool networks can deal configurations.
