UiTM PROFESSORIAL LECTURE: INTELLIGENT SERVICE RESTORATION IN SMART DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
Intelligent Service Restoration in Smart Distribution Network presents a practical and forward-looking approach to modern power system resilience. As distribution networks grow in complexity and renewable integration accelerates, ensuring reliable service restoration after faults becomes critical. This book introduces advanced techniques such as the Multi-Objective Cuckoo Search Spring Algorithm (MOCSSA) and a hybrid CSSA-LSSVM model for optimising network reconfiguration and predicting restoration pathways. Through tested simulations on the IEEE 69-bus system, the book demonstrates how intelligent algorithms can reduce losses, improve voltage profiles, and accelerate recovery times. Designed for engineers, researchers, and smart grid professionals, it offers an accessible yet rigorous roadmap for deploying intelligent tools in real-world grid environments. Whether you're exploring next-generation restoration strategies or enhancing grid performance, this book delivers timely insights at the intersection of automation, Al, and power distribution.
