Optimal Distribution System Reconfiguration Using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II)

In this paper, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-ii (nsga-ii) based approach is presented for distribution system reconfiguration. in contrast to the conventional ga based methods, the proposed approach does not require weighting factors for conversion of multi-objective function into an equivalent single objective function. in order to illustrate the performance of the proposed method, 33-bus and 69-bus distribution networks have been employed which have led to the desired results.
