The invention relates to a fault recovery method of a power distribution network including a micro grid. The method comprises the following steps: (1) an elicitation type rule is adopted to generate an initial feasible scheme, and a candidate scheme set is generated on the basis of the initial feasible scheme; (2)and a genetic algorithm is utilized to obtain an optimal solution of fault recovery from the candidate set. The micro grid is firstly considered and utilized to recover loads of areas losing electricity, and the number of operation of a contact switch and a section switch is reduced so that line loss of the fault recovery process is effectively reduced, and economic benefits are enhanced. The elicitation type rule and the genetic algorithm are combined so that the optimal scheme of fault recovery can be found, and efficiency of finding the optimal recovery scheme is also enhanced.
