Application of parallel tabu search based hierarchical optimization to distribution system service restoration

This paper proposes a hybrid method of hierarchical optimization and Parallel Tabu Search (PTS) for distribution system service restoration with distributed generators. The objective is to evaluate the optimal route to recover the service. The improvement of power quality makes the service restoration more important. Distribution system service restoration is one of complicated combinational optimization problems that are expressed as nonlinear mixed integer programming. In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to restore the service in a hierarchical optimization with Parallel Tabu Search. The proposed method is tested in a sample system.
