Electric distribution network optimal reconfiguration algorithm to contain operational costs

In this thesis an algorithm, made with python and pandapower, is proposed to contain the operational costs of the distribution grid. The thesis analize the results of the algorithm and the benefits, from an economical point of view, in respect to the starting configuration of the grid. The possible operations considered are: driving the switchs in the net, building new lines or upgrading the existing ones and the curtailment of the generators.
