Abstract

This paper presents optimal planning of tie-switch operation in an electric power distribution system under an emergency feed condition, i.e. operation during a post-fault condition. A heuristic fault isolation algorithm and a genetic-based service restoration algorithm are proposed and compared. With the proposed restoration algorithm, high reliable service of electric distribution systems is expected. To ensure a small number of customer interruption, average energy not supplied (AENS) is used as the objective function to be minimized. 25-node and 118-node distribution test feeders were employed for test. Satisfactory results show that the genetic approach is appropriate to a kind of tie-switch operation planning in order to minimize effects of a permanent fault on customer service interruption.
