FORWARD: Feasibility Oriented Random-Walk Inspired Algorithm for Radial Reconfiguration in Distribution Networks

FORWARD is a library that provides state-of-the-art methods for finding radial configuration in distribution networks. Proposed algorithm generalizes traditional greedy methods on Minimum Spanning Tree problem in order to construct spanning forests accomplishing the non-linear constraints of flow distribution.

See an example of its performance below:
