Firstly, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm is adopted to obtain the correlation coefficient matrix of all buses in the network. Then, the "and" logic rule and the criteria based on the voltage correlation analysis model are utilized to correct the matrix. Finally, the topology is reconstructed based on the modified matrix. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently and accurately generate the un-loopy and loopy distribution network topology based on timing voltage data without using any prior knowledge of distribution network. The algorithm could be employed as an auxiliary decision-making method to generate the operational distribution network topology. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2017-137
