Generic reconfiguration for restoration

This paper introduces and compares four algorithms by which reconfiguration for restoration of an arbitrary number of interdependent critical infrastructure systems can be achieved. A method of modeling systems called Graph Trace Analysis is used to enable generic operation on various system types. The algorithms described are compared with each other and with prior work when run on a model of an actual electrical distribution system. The described algorithms are also run on an example model to demonstrate the ability to reconfigure interdependent infrastructure systems.
