Random adaptive optimizer restores distribution service

摘要

Power network faults may lead to blackouts in some areas. Dispatchers should accurately diagnose faulted elements as soon as possible and restore those areas to their normal state. The restoration of the blackout area in a distribution network is a complex nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem, which is to restore as much of the blacked out area as possible and not to lead to overload in the normal area. In view of the limitation of the conventional expert system (ES) based on rules for restoring a blacked out area, a new random adaptive optimizing method based on a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to the restoration system of the distribution network.
