With the advent of smart grids and the higher level of requirement for the quality of supply, restoration of distribution networks is a timely topic that deserves to be revisited. In this paper, the concept of multi-agent automation in smart grids is applied to build a self-healing framework to be used for the restoration service. The optimal restoration solution is found solving a global optimization problem in a distributed way. The restoration problem including power flow equations is modeled as a second order cone programming problem and carried out on a 70-bus distribution network. The model is implemented in Matlab/Yalmip toolbox and solved using Gurobi solver.
