A Novel Solution Method for the Distribution Network Reconfiguration Problem Based on a Search Mechanism Enhancement of the Improved Harmony Search Algorithm

This paper addresses the problem of Distribution Systems Reconfiguration (DSR), which consists of finding the state of switching devices (open or closed) in a given distribution network, aiming to minimize active power loses. DSR is modeled as a mixed-integer non-linear optimization problem, in whic...
