Abstract

In traditional distribution networks, due to the radial structure and subscriber power supply, in the event of errors in the main feeders, downstream subscribers experienced a long blackout, which reduced the reliability level of the network. With the expansion of the use of scattered generations, storage resources and the use of load response methods, load retrieval is provided in the downstream area. In this paper, a method is proposed for locating sectionners and distributed generations in distribution networks with the aim of creating flexible micro-grids. By creating an island, disassembling and restoring loads of more importance in the distribution network, on the one hand, it reduces the amount of fines paid by the distribution company to Subscribers and economic interests of the distribution company, and, on the other hand, by improving reliability, provides customer satisfaction.
