In this paper, a distribution systems loss minimum reconfiguration method by genetic algorithm is proposed. The problem is a complex mixed integer programming problem and is very difficult to solve by a mathematical programming approach. A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search or optimization algorithm based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Since GA is suitable to solve combinatorial optimization problems, it can be successfully applied to problems of loss minimum in distribution systems. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
