2. Key Parameters

• Load Data: Peak load = 3.2 MW, daily load variation = ±20%
• DG Configuration: PV = 1.5 MW (node 15), Storage = 0.8 MW/1.2 MWh (node 28)
• Voltage Constraints: 0.95-1.05 pu
• Loss Benchmark: Initial loss rate = 4.2%

Genetic Algorithm Design

1. Chromosome Encoding Scheme

% Binary encoding example for 5 interconnection switches
chromosome = [1 0 1 1 0];  % 1 = closed, 0 = open

• Encoding Length: 5 bits (corresponding to 5 switches)
• Valid Topology: Must maintain a radial structure (tree topology)

2. Fitness Function Design

function fitness = evaluate_fitness(chromosome)
    % Decode chromosome
    switchStatus = decode_chromosome(chromosome);
    
    % Power flow calculation
    [busVoltage, powerLoss] = compute_power_flow(switchStatus);
    
    % Multi-objective weighting
    economicCost = 0.6 * powerLoss * 0.5 + 0.4 * calculate_switch_costs(switchStatus);
    voltageDeviation = max(abs(busVoltage - 1.0)) * 1000;  % Voltage deviation penalty
    
    fitness = economicCost + voltageDeviation;
end

• Weighting Coefficients: Economic weight = 0.6, Reliability weight = 0.4
• Penalty Terms: Voltage violation penalty = 10 points per 0.01 pu deviation

3. Algorithm Flow Optimization

graph TD
    A[Initialize population] --> B{Evaluate fitness}
    B --> C[Selection process]
    C --> D[Crossover operation]
    D --> E[Mutation operation]
    E --> F[Elite preservation]
    F --> B

• Selection Strategy: Tournament selection (tournament size = 5)
• Crossover Probability: Adaptive adjustment (0.6-0.9 range)
• Mutation Probability: 0.05-0.15 (based on population diversity)

Multi-Objective Optimization Implementation

1. Pareto Frontier Construction

% Multi-objective optimization function
function paretoFront = perform_multi_objective_ga()
    options = optimoptions('gamultiobj',...
        'PopulationSize',100,...
        'CrossoverFcn',{@uniform_crossover,0.8},...
        'MutationFcn',{@adaptive_mutation,0.1});
    
    [x,fval] = gamultiobj(@cost_function,5,[],[],[],[],...
        [1 1 1 1 1], [0 0 0 0 0],options);
    
    paretoFront = sortrows(fval(:,1:2));
end

2. Objective Function Definition

function objectives = cost_function(x)
    % x(1)-x(5): Switch statuses
    % Economic objective
    powerLoss = compute_network_loss(x);
    cost = 0.5 * powerLoss + 0.3 * compute_switch_costs(x);
    
    % Reliability objective
    reliability = 1 / (1 + compute_outage_risk(x));
    
    objectives = [cost, 1 - reliability];
end

Constraint Handling

1. Topology Validation

function valid = validateTopology(chromosome)
    % Check radial structure
    networkGraph = build_network_graph(chromosome);
    valid = is_radial(networkGraph) && has_no_loops(networkGraph);
    
    % Voltage constraint validation
    [voltages, ~] = compute_power_flow(networkGraph);
    valid = valid && all(voltages >= 0.95) && all(voltages <= 1.05);
end

2. Switch Operation Limits

• Mechanical Life: Annual switch operations ≤ 200 times
• Minimum Operation Time: Switch state must remain for ≥ 15 minutes

(Switch Status: Switch 4 closed, Switch 7 open)

MATLAB Implementation Highlights

1. Power Flow Calculation Module

function [V, Ploss] = compute_power_flow(switchStatus)
    % Build bus admittance matrix
    Ybus = construct_admittance_matrix();
    
    % Set switch statuses
    configure_switches(switchStatus);
    
    % Newton-Raphson iteration
    V = newton_raphson_solver(Ybus, Sbus, V0);
    
    % Calculate power losses
    Ploss = sum(real(V .* conj(Ibus)));
end

2. Parallel Computing Acceleration

% Accelerate population evaluation using parfor
parfor i = 1:populationSize
    fitness(i) = evaluate_fitness(population(i,:));
end
