Reconfiguration of Distribution Networks in order to Reduce Casualties Using Graph Theory

Reconfiguration of distribution network is done with a set switching, is a simple and inexpensive way to reduce the casualties of the distribution system without adding additional equipment over the network. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed based on the graph theory to optimize distribution network issues. Then, a new model for distribution networks is proposed based on the graph theory, which makes the reconfiguration faster. Subsequently, a new method based on the algorithm of graph and graphical models of the distribution network is presented in order to reconfiguration of distribution networks to reduce the casualties. This method is applicable for reconfiguration at several levels of load and also real time. In the end, the efficiency of the method is shown with a well-known standard distribution system
