Abstract
Three stochastic search techniques have been used to find the optimal sequence of operations required to restore supply in an electrical distribution system on the occurrence of a fault. The three techniques are the genetic algorithm, simulated annealing and the tabu search. The performance of these techniques has been compared. A large distribution system of over 29 substations, 2500 nodes and 120 feeders has been used.
