Optimal placement of fault indicator and remote‐controlled switches for predetermined reliability of selected buses

Fault indicators (FI) and remotely controlled switches (RCS) can reduce the power outage time in distribution network (DN) by finding isolating faulty area. Therefore, they play an important role reducing cost increasing reliability of DN. In DN, there may be high-priority loads. One goals improving updating DN is to increase all buses, especially buses feeding such Here, placement FI RCS, as system automation devices, designed modelled supplying For problem, two have been considered. But problem not defined a multi-objective optimization. Rather, it one-objective optimization (i.e. cost) constrained certain level predetermined locations buses. The IEEE-33bus used sample different scenarios are simulated. number RCS simulated compared evaluate efficiency proposed model. obtained results show adequacy modelling.
