Abstract

We study applications of the method of limit graphs that has been previously developed for accident prevention control of heat supply networks to structural optimization problems for modes of electrical distribution networks. We present a comparative analysis of optimization results for a practical 52-bus distribution network according to stability criteria, uniformness of the voltage profile, and power losses.
