Abstract

The motivation behind this paper is the many

changes that happen in power distribution networks, theoretical

developments, and their consequences on power distribution

restoration. The stages of this process are defined with a focus on

steps taken after the fault isolation. The final purpose of the

operators is defined, as are the rules which must be strictly

respected. Power quality issues are stressed. Moreover, recent

techniques (metaheuristic and learning methods) are discussed.

Heuristic rules also known as expert rules or knowledge based

rules used in power restoration are outlined for their supportive

role. Finally, a comparison of some selected papers is given. This

enables to illustrate how the defined goals and changes in the

network are reflected in recent literature. Our conclusion from

the study of the state of the art is that there is still a lot of work to

be done in developing novel techniques, integrating the goals and

inserting the evolving features of power distribution networks.
