چکیده
This paper proposes an optimization method for planning adequate number and location of automatic switches in a radial distribution system. The purpose is to maximize the profit of that service reliability indices achieve the required level. First, a network equivalent technique is introduced to calculate the reliability indices. Second, by using the equivalent method, system reliability indices and profit on various switches configuration cases can be deduced. Then a mixed-integer particle swarm optimization (MIPSO) is proposed to determine the optimal switch number and location. Keywords— Distribution system, Particle swarm optimization, Reliability.

In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...

متن کاملA Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement
The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
