Abstract

CRE2 is a CP application written in MOzArt (www.mozart-oz.org) for reconfiguring power distribution networks for power losses reduction. This includes two distinct interacting processes: load flow computation and selecting switches to open or close. Load flow is computed for each radial network obtained from switching operations. We developed a real intervals constraint system (XRI) and integrated it to MOzArt. CRE2 uses XRI for load flow and the MOzArt finite domain constraint system for switch state changes.
