Abstract

Achieving an appropriate level of reliability in electrical distribution systems is one of the main goals toward smart distribution grid. Moreover, self-healing is a significant features of smart distribution grid. Self-healing can be improved through installation of remote-controlled switches, which leads to an increase in availability and reliability. Thus, it is important to install controllable equipment in distribution grid. In this paper, a mixed integer linear program (MIP) is introduced to allocate remote-controlled and manual switches. In addition, reliability-centered approach is considered to find the best arrangement of switches in distribution grid. A sensitivity analysis is conducted on maximum investment cost, leads to a comprehensive analysis on installation of switches in distribution grid. Moreover, the objective function includes investment cost, customer interruption cost and maintenance cost. The formulation is solved by CPLEX solver.
