Abstract
This paper presents a genetic algorithm for solving network reconfiguration using three phase unbalanced load flow in distribution systems. A proper string representation for the problem is devised and a method to yield a good problem-dependent initial string population is presented. An appropriate selection method for strings is used for fast convergence and improving quality of solutions. Three phase unbalanced load flow is used for taking constant power and unbalance loads in the practical distribution network into account. The feasibility of the developed algorithm for network reconfiguration is demonstrated on distribution networks with promising results.
