Forecast-based network reconfiguration algorithm

This paper proposes a forecast-based network reconfiguration algorithm and its application to a distribution network. Altering loads and generation may cause overloads while operating the network at the static topology configuration. By using forecast-based nodal power time series a suitable switching strategy is generated. In a second step the amount of switching actions is to be reduced. The generated action plan may be used as a guide for network operation in the course of the day.
