As the core sub-problem of both network reconfiguration and service restoration of the electrical distribution system (EDS), the load pick-up (LPP) problem in EDS searches the optimal configuration of the EDS, aiming to minimise the power loss or provide as much power as possible to load ends. The piecewise linearisation (pwl) approximation method can be used to tackle the network power flow constraints' non-linearity in the LPP problem model, and transform the LPP model into a mixed-integer linear programming model (LPP-MILP model). The errors in the pwlapproximation of the network power flow constraints may affect the feasibility of the solving results of the LPP-MILP model. The single method to reduce the pwlapproximation errors by increasing the number of discretisations in pwl function is not stable. Moreover, the solution efficiency of the LPP-MILP model is sacrificed severely. In this study, a warm-start pwlapproximation-based solution for the LPP problem is proposed. The variable upper bounds in the pwl approximation functions are renewed dynamically in the warm-start solution procedure to reduce the pwlapproximation errors with higher computational efficiency. Modified IEEE 33-bus radial distribution test system and a real and large distribution system, 1066-bus system, are used to test and verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methodology.
