A new methodology for distribution network integration planning

In order to resolve the distribution network integration planning, this paper presents a new solution algorithm, which is constituted of twice nesting improved genetic algorithms and once nesting shortest path algorithm. The methodology can be used to solve synthetically planning of distribution network, route planning of feeder and reconfiguration of distribution network flexibly. The model and the methodology proposed in this paper are shown to be effective to solve some practical problems in distribution network planning.
