On the Radiality Constraints for Distribution System Restoration and Reconfiguration Problems

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Radiality constraints are involved in both distribution system restoration and reconfiguration problems. However, a set of widely used radiality constraints, i.e., the spanning tree (ST) constraints, has its limitations which have not been well recognized. In this letter, the limitation of the ST constraints is analyzed and an effective set of constraints, referred to as the single-commodity flow constraints, is presented. Furthermore, a combined set of constraints is proposed and case studies indicate that the combined constraints can gain computational efficiency in the reconfiguration problem. Recommendations on the use of radiality constraints are also provided.
