As the distributed generation (DG) in a power supply and the user load demand constantly change in an actual distribution network, multiobjective optimal network reconfiguration considering variations in load and DG has become a major concern, which is important and required to make system operations safe and economical. The aim is to minimize the sum of the active power loss, the sum of the load balancing index and the sum of the maximum node voltage deviation index simultaneously during the reconfiguration period. Here, this article proposes a new Chaos Disturbed Beetle Antennae Search (CDBAS) algorithm to reduce the computational time and solve the multiobjective optimal problem of network reconfiguration. To adopt the Chaos Disturbed Beetle Antennae Search algorithm for solving this multiobjective problem, grey target decision-making technology is used to rank the beetles. Additionally, to the enhance the system static voltage stability and voltage quality, a grey target decision-making model is established to achieve a layer relationship between each index and the switching operation index. The plausibility and effectiveness of the presented methodology is verified on the modified IEEE 33, 69 and 118-Bus Test Radial Distribution Network. Finally, compared with other research methods in the literature, the CDBAS algorithm outperforms other algorithms and produces a quality decision solution.
