We use the current summation algorithm to solve the power flow, and we employ an intelligent bee colony algorithm to solve the model. Two network topologies, one with 43 and another with 136 bars, adapted from the literature, are used to illustrate the solution. Results show a significant reduction in the financial cost of planning a power distribution network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jsan11040077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]],"date-time":"2022-11-22T08:29:58Z","timestamp":1669105798000},"page":"77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Optimization of Switch Allocation Problems in Power Distribution Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ricardo R.","family":"L\u00e2ngaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Technology-Paran\u00e1, Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1008-7838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcelo","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Technology-Paran\u00e1, Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Richardson","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Technology-Paran\u00e1, Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1574-1293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jefferson T.","family":"Oliva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Technology-Paran\u00e1, Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9674-2348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco A.
