Distribution Network Reconfiguration Based on Differential Evolution Algorithm

On the base of the special configuration of distribution network, solved generating a large number of infeasible solutions in reconfiguration of distribution network by using cyclic coding strategy, this paper proposed corresponding decimal encoding and its mutation, crossover and selection operators. For the previous discussion about radial structure decision, further cleared its definition, figured out the issue that reverse of current flow in part of network branches after reconfiguration, and finally simulate the IEEE 33-bus system based on differential evolution algorithm. The result shows that the method proposed is fast and effective.
