Outline of Final Research Achievements

The radial distribution networks have been designed under the assumption that electricity flows from distribution substations to electric power consumers. However, the recent growth in penetration of renewable energy-based generators (REGs) has invalidated the assumption because the reverse power flow occurs when the output of the REGs exceeds the power consumption in distribution lines. Under the circumstances, the optimization technique, that solves the reconfiguration problem coping with the REG installation, is urgently needed. The aim of this study was to develop the optimization technique of distribution network reconfiguration which achieves the following multi objectives simultaneously: 1) to promote the REGs’ installation, and 2) to improve the operation efficiency in the distribution networks, with a view to supporting a smarter distribution network management.
