According to the statistics of Vietnam Electricity Corporation, total power loss in recent
years is about 9-15% of electricity production volume, in which distribution of the electrical
network holds 5-7%. Then, researching methods for power loss reduction in the distribution
network is very urgent demand. Reconfiguaration distribution network is one of methods to
minimize power loss which is researched most.
Currently, solution of reconfiguaration distribution network problem is optimal one under
NP-hard class and then in order to solve this problem, there are some following methods to
approach and solve the problem:
- Seek by optimal mathematical method
- Seek heuristic to seek enough good solution.
- Seek near correct solution by natural emulation algorithm such as: Simulated Annealing
algorithm, genetic algorithm, herd optimum, etc.
