Abstract :
In this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. For this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System AverageInterruption Duration Index (SAIDI), Cost of Energy Not Supplied (CENS), and MomentaryAverage Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI). By using a novel technique, the target functionwas normalized. Simulation has been performed on IEEE 69-bus test system. A genetic algorithmcould solve this nonlinear problem.
