The reconfiguration is an operation process used for optimization with specific objectives by means of changing the status of switches in a distribution network. This paper presents an algorithm for network recon-figuration based on the heuristic rules and fuzzy multi objective approach where each objective is normalized with inspiration from fuzzy set to cause optimization more flexible and formulized as a unique multi objective function. Also, the genetic algorithm is used for solving the suggested model, in which there is no risk of non-linear objective functions and constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through several examples in this paper.
