M. Tech. Electrical Engineering / Reconfiguration of electric distribution networks is treated as an optimisation problem of a combinatorial nature, where the main goal is to achieve a path in the network with minimal power losses and with a good computation time. There are various ways of reducing active power losses in distribution networks, where network reconfiguration is one of the most important methods. However, it can be a very difficult optimisation problem. The Genetic Algorithm with Rank Weight selection method is therefore proposed. The method is used to search a population of switches for the optimum solution in the network.
