Feeder reconfiguration is defined as altering the topological structures of distribution feeders by changing the open/closed states of the sectionalizing and tie switches. In this paper, a scheme is presented which utilizes feeder reconfiguration as a planning and/or real-time control tool in order to restructure the primary feeders for loss reduction. The mathematical foundation of the scheme is given; the solution procedure is illustrated on simple examples.
