However, the fault reconfiguration of the distribution network is often regarded as a single-objective or multi-objective optimization problem, and its multimodality is often ignored in existing studies. Therefore, the obtained solutions may be unsuitable or infeasible when the environment changes. To improve the availability and robustness of the solutions, an improved discrete multimodal multi-objective particle swarm optimization (IDMMPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the fault reconfiguration problem of the distribution network. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed IDMMPSO algorithm, the IEEE33-bus distribution system is used in the experiment. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is compared with other competitors. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can provide different equivalent solutions for decision-makers in solving the fault reconfiguration problem of the distribution network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biomimetics8050431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,18]],"date-time":"2023-09-18T02:17:30Z","timestamp":1695003450000},"page":"431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Fault Reconfiguration in Distribution Networks Based on Improved Discrete Multimodal Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6819-669X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Logistics Research Center, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Logistics Research Center, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moduo","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Control of Power Transmission and Conversion, Ministry of Education, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8603-5161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qinqin","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Logistics Research Center, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110201","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rser.2020.110201","article-title":"A review on resilience studies in active distribution systems","volume":"135","author":"Mishra","year":"2021","journal-title":"Renew.
