Influence of distributed generation on sectionalizing switches placement in MV distribution networks

摘要

This paper presents the influence of distributed generation DG and reclosers placement on the reliability of distribution network. The brute force method and evolutionary algorithm were used to solve the optimization task. The placement of the switches was determined independently using two criteria. The first criterion is the reserve factor, while the second criterion is the SAIDI index. The proposed methods were tested on a real medium voltage distribution system in two variants of operation: with and without DG.
