Abstract

In this paper, an advanced method for the planning of open-loop medium voltage (MV) distribution network is proposed. The multiobjective planning model is constructed, and a special multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is designed based on the network dataset built by component geographical information systems (ComGIS). The network analysis function of the ComGIS is embedded in the overall optimization process to find single-loop optimal paths. Crossover and mutation operator are designed according to characteristics of the coding. The evolutionary orientation is directed by the fitness function based on Pareto order of individuals. The Pareto optimal set (POS) including several candidate planning schemes is gotten through MOGA, from which the recommended scheme is selected. The method has been applied to real life power distribution networks, showing its potential in practical applications.
