Abstract :
A novel formulation for service restoration algorithm for unbalanced three phase distribution systems is described. This problem is a constrained multiobjective optimization formulated as a mixed integer non-linear programming problem. A comparison of the solutions with and without switch pairs has been made. The formulation was first validated using already developed three-phase unbalanced power flow software. The three-phase unbalanced power flow equations were embedded in the formulation, and hence separate calculations were not needed. Simulation results are presented for modified IEEE 13-node and IEEE 37-node test cases
