Abstract
A control system collects a graph-based representation of the power distribution system as a radial tree of nodes connected by edges. Each node represents a section of the power distribution system isolated by switches and each edge represents a switch that connects a section represented by the node with a neighboring section represented by the neighboring node. Each node has a property of power demand of a corresponding section governed by a difference between demanded and available energy for the section, and each edge has a property constraining throughput of energy through the switch in a direction of a power flow. The control system solves an optimization problem to determine the states of the edges and controls the switches based on the optimized states of the corresponding edges.
