TL;DR: In this article, a ranking-based search method employing analytical information obtained from three-phase power flow simulations is designed to restore service to as many priority customers as possible while maximizing the amount of total load restored and minimizing the number of required switch operations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a problem formulation, solution algorithm, and simulation results for service restoration of power distribution systems incorporating load curtailment of in-service customers via direct load control.

TL;DR: In this paper, a service restoration algorithm for large-scale, radial distribution networks is presented, where the service restoration problem is formulated as a constrained multiple-objective optimization problem and a solution algorithm designed to consider networks with predominately manual switches is developed which utilizes information calculated from three-phase power flow analysis to restore as much priority and total load as possible.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of determining the load capability of a large-scale unbalanced distribution network with capacitance control actions is investigated and a solution algorithm suitable for large scale unbalanced networks with capacitor control actions with test results on a NYSEG 394-bus distribution network are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive study of capacitor placement and real-time control in general unbalanced distribution systems is undertaken, where new developments in a loss reduction formula, problem formulations, solution methodology and mathematical justification are presented.
