Abstract
The problem of reconfiguration of distribution systems to minimize power loss was formulated as an optimization problem. This formulation takes into account the operational constraints on line flows and voltages and the radial topology. To solve this problem, the authors propose a method to optimize this reconfiguration of the distribution system, based on the behavior of colonies of ants. To illustrate the proposed method, a numerical example is presented
