This study presents an efficient method for the multi-objective reconfiguration of radial distribution systems in fuzzy framework using adaptive genetic algorithm. The initial population for genetic algorithm is created using a heuristic approach and the genetic operators are adapted with the help of graph theory to generate feasible individuals. This avoids tedious mesh check and hence reduces the computational burden. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on 70-bus test system and 136-bus real distribution system. The simulation results show that the proposed method is efficient and promising for multi-objective reconfiguration of radial distribution systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
