contents The distribution system restoration (DSR) problem has received considerable attention over the last decade or more. Solutions to the DSR problem identify the best set or sequence of actions to perform on a distribution circuit to restore service after a disruption. The problem is challenging from a computational perspective, with engineering constraints specific to distribution systems, such as radial operations, that are difficult to effectively model. In this paper, we revisit the model for how specific loads are shed, energized and restored--and develop a formulation that more accurately models the requirements of load shedding, load energizing and restoration in distribution systems.
