Optimal Switch Placement in Real Distribution Network considering Cut-out Fuses, the Importance of Feeders and Ring Points in the Presence of Distributed Generation using Improved Bee Algorithm (Case Study: Mazandaran Distribution Network)
In this paper, the modified bee optimization algorithm is proposed to appropriate switches placement regarding distributed generation to maximize the feeders’ reliability of a typical distribution network in Mazandaran. In this regard, actual network information including number of consumers, average consumption, feeders failures, feeders access time, repair time, etc. are used to determine network reliability indices. The optimal location of switches is determined by different scenarios due to the presence of distributed generation and the importance of feeders in the studied network. Moreover, the effect of cut-out fuses and ring points on feeders is considered in determining the appropriate switches placement, which is usually not considered in the reliability analysis of the distribution network and switches placement. Different indices are considered to determine the importance of feeders and a questionnaire has been prepared to utilize the personnel experiences of the distribution company to weigh these indices. Comparing and analyzing the results shows the ability of the proposed method in determining the appropriate switches locations in a real network.
