CHAPTER 10

Application of Optimization Techniques for Protection and Restoration Design

In this chapter we will discuss applications of the optimization approaches described in Chapter 5 to the restoration design problems presented in Chapter 9. We concentrate on decomposition methods available in linear programming (LP), on mixed integer programming (MIP), as well as on stochastic meta-heuristics of simulated allocation (SAL), simulated annealing (SAN), and evolutionary algorithms (EA). This chapter is developed for readers who are interested in algorithmic details for restoration design problems; readers who are primarily interested in modeling aspects may skip this chapter.

The LP optimization framework has been already discussed in Sections ...
