This is the Matlab code for the Switch Opening and Exchange (SOE) method used in paper "Switch Opening and Exchange Method for Stochastic Distribution Network Reconfiguration" that has been accepted by and will be published in IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. This paper has been uploaded here, i.e., the PDF file in the SOE project.

Before running the code, the path to the MatPower toolbox needs to be added. The MatPower can be downloaded from github.com/MATPOWER/matpower

The main code is 'decrese_reconfig_xxx_tabu.m' where 'xxx' is 33, 84, 119, 136, and 417 for the five test systems used in the paper. The main code for the brute-force search method used in the paper is 'brute_force_case33.m'

A Matlab build-in function 'graph' is used in this code. Please test whether your Matlab has this function or not. For the test, you can run this code 'G = graph([1 1], [2 3])' in your Matlab Command Window. You will obtain a returned value for G if your Matlab has the function 'graph'. Otherwise, you will encounter an error "Undefined function 'graph' for input arguments". If you encounter this error, please install a higher version of Matlab or install a toolbox that has the function 'graph'. Please refer to this link (https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/graph.html) for more detailed information of the function 'graph'.
