Abstract The Network Reconfiguration technique is a method which helps mitigate power
losses from distribution systems. However, the reconfiguration technique can only do this up …

This paper proposes a solution for the distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) problem
with distributed generation (DG) based on the parallel slime mould algorithm (PSMA). Firstly …

The integration of network reconfiguration and distributed generation (DG) can enhance the
performances of overall networks. Thus, proper sizing and siting of DG need to be …

Reconfiguration is a complex combinatorial problem in which the topology of distribution
systems is modified by the opening/closing of interconnection switches aiming techno …

Optimal size and location of the distributed generators (DGs) has become a new avenue
applied to achieve a proper design and to provide a better performance for the distribution …

Distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) is the optimized change in the topological
