Abstract: (14 Views) |
Due to the extensive range and diversity of equipment within distribution networks, this part of the power system is responsible for a considerable proportion of customer outages, as reported by electricity departments. A viable solution to mitigate these outages and prevent associated economic losses is the strategic placement of switches along distributed generation resources within the network. This paper presents an optimal placement of sectionalizing switch and fuse in the presence of distributed generation using a fuzzy multi-objective function. Uncertainties in load, failure rates, and repair times are also considered to allow for devising a superior design. The primary objectives of the plant are to elevate the system’s reliability and simultaneously reduce the cost of switches, defined via fuzzy membership functions. The use of a fuzzy multi-objective function helps propose various plans tailored to economic and technical conditions. The HBMO algorithm is employed for optimization. To validate the proposed method’s efficiency, tests are finally conducted on an RBTS test network and real distribution network.
