A method of finding optimum post-fault configuration of distribution networks based on evolutionary algorithm has been presented in the paper. The description of the proposed algorithm together with the calculation procedures prepared for the considered problem has been included. Exemplary calculations for a selected medium-voltage network system have been presented in the final part of the paper.
► In structurally complex electric power networks extensive breakdown conditions occur. ► Time required to obtain results with the assistance of the evolutionary algorithm proposed. ► It depends on the extent of the network breakdown, usually amounting to several seconds. ► Enables it to be used in current systems managing the operation of distribution networks. ► Enables having regard for the set of criteria including all important factors.
