A HEURISTIC APPROACH FOR MULTI OBJECTIVE DISTRIBUTION FEEDER RECONFIGURATION: USING FUZZY SETS IN NORMALIZATION OF OBJECTIVE FUNCTIONS

The reconfiguration is an operation process used for optimization with specific objectives by means of changing the status of switches in a distribution network. In this paper each objectives is normalized with inspiration from fuzzy sets‐to cause optimization more flexible‐ and formulized as a unique multi‐objective function. The genetic algorithm is used for solving the suggested model, in which there is no risk of non‐liner objective functions and constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the examples.
