“…In many studies the reconfiguration operation has been used in normal conditions to improve system parameters such as loss, voltage profile and power balancing [8]. Moreover, in some studies reconfiguration is used to restore the interrupted loads in emergency conditions [9]. In this paper feeder reconfiguration is addressed as a solution for distribution network congestion management.…”

One of the main intent of smart grid is to enable more renewable energy resources. Installing the DGs near endcustomers result in reduction of power transmission of lines, however, if a large amount of microDGs generate energy simultaneously, it may result in distribution system congestion. In usual, distribution component capacity is considered high enough to avoid any congestion. However, considering the on-line monitoring and controlling abilities of a smart grid, this paper addressed reconfiguration as an effective methodology to solve the distribution network congestion problem. Genetic algorithm is used to determine the optimal configuration. Numerical results of implementing the method on a test system demonstrate that network reconfiguration can be used as an effective methodology to defer the additional investment in distribution systems.

This study presents the basic features of a Monte Carlo approach for reliability evaluation of distribution systems without embedded generation using parallel computation. The test system is represented by means of a three-phase model that includes protective devices and is simulated during one year. The procedure has been implemented in an open environment in which OpenDSS is driven from MATLAB. The document includes a detailed description of the procedure, and some results derived from the simulation of an overhead distribution test system.Postprint (published version

“…Automated restoration to improve reliability is studied in [8]. The analysis of when and how to restore the service has been proposed in [8] through the use of an offline calculated table and properties of the binary bus connection matrix. However, all these studies are focused on just using protective devices in the system without considering changes in the role of these devices.…”

The type and location of switches are expected to play a key role on the reliability improvement of power distribution systems. In this paper, the value of circuit breaker installed as a protective and automated device is quantified in terms of its contribution to the reliability improvement of an industrial distribution network. In addition, the values of placing distributed generation (DG) at various locations, as well as the impact of high penetration of DGs, are presented. The description of the proposed approach is carried out using an IEEE RBTS test system. Several case studies are considered to verify the accuracy of the proposed approach. The results presented in the paper verified that the proposed strategy is able to enhance the reliability of the power distribution systems especially when DGs are included.
