Abstract

The goal of this project is to use a hybrid genetic algorithm to restore power to a power grid after a blackout by minimising the lost load and number of switches within a reasonable amount of time for power operators. The algorithm was tested on single-fault and multi-fault blackout systems. Based on the simulation results, the performance of the hybrid GA has been found to be better than the conventional GA when restoring power to a radial power grid.
