Abstract :
This paper presents three GA applications in electrical distribution systems: network reconfiguration for loss reduction, optimal protection device placement, and prioritizing investments in distribution networks. The work reported in the paper is the result of research projects developed in cooperation with Brazilian electrical distribution utilities. The paper reports preliminary results of tests performed using actual networks
