This study presents a methodology for distribution system (DS) reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generations with objectives of minimising real power loss, switching operations as well as maximising the voltage stability margin while maintaining the constraints of bus voltage, branch current carrying capacity and radiality of DS. Furthermore, small signal stability of the system has also been considered in the formulated reconfiguration problem. To obtain the pareto-optimal solutions of this constrained multi-objective optimisationproblem, knee point-driven evolutionary algorithm, is applied. In contrast to the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II)-based approach, preference is given to the knee points among non-dominated solutions in selection and tournament mating. Therefore, it maintains better balance between the convergence of the method and the diversity in the population. The method has been tested on IEEE 33-bus, 69-bus and 119-bus radial DSs to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness. The obtained results have also been compared with those obtained by the multi-objective NSGA-II-based method.
