Abstract

The increasing complexity of the distribution system makes the practical distribution network operation much difficult. This paper presents an ordinal optimisation (OO) approach to solve the distribution network reconfiguration, which is an NP- hard problem with discrete control variables. OO uses crude and computationally fast model to reduce the search space. The spirit of OO is to seek the good enough solution instead of the best with high probability. The proposed approach is validated with two practical distribution systems, TPC 84 node test system. The results are compared with Optimal Flow Pattern (OFP), Common Genetic Algorithm (CGA), Partheno Genetic Algorithm with Tree Structure Encoding technology (TSE-PGA) and Second-Order Cone Programming (SOCP).
