Detailed Documentation

This 33-node distribution network reconfiguration program utilizes Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for optimal network topology selection. The implementation features fast convergence and efficient computation, making it suitable for real-time distribution system optimization. The algorithm employs swarm intelligence principles where particles represent potential network configurations and iteratively update their positions based on individual and global best solutions. Key components include fitness evaluation for power loss minimization, constraint handling for radial topology maintenance, and velocity updates using inertia weight and acceleration coefficients. Note that while the core optimization algorithm performs efficiently, regenerating input data requires modifications to the source code's data handling modules, particularly the network parameter initialization and load profile generation sections.
