An efficient methodology for optimal reconfiguration of electric distribution network considering reliability indices via binary particle swarm gravity search algorithm

One important aspect that should be achieved during the operation of the distribution network is minimizing the total active loss. This objective can be achieved by network reconfiguration in which switching events such as closing tie switches or opening sectionalizing switches are efficiently determined. This paper presents a reliable meta-heuristic algorithm for optimal reconfiguration of the distribution network which is binary particle swarm...
