Abstract: This paper presents a method to solve electrical network reconfiguration problem in the presence of distributed generation (DG) with an objective of minimizing real power loss and energy not supplied function in distribution system. A method based on NSGA II multi-objective algorithm is used to simultaneously minimize two objective functions and to identify the optimal distribution network topology. The constraints of voltage and branch current carrying capacity are included in the evaluation of the objective function. The method has been tested on radial electrical distribution network with 213 nodes, 248 lines and 72 switches. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
