This paper presents a new formulation for placement of switches in distribution of electric power. An approach for determination of the location of tie switches and section switches using a multi-objective microgenetic algorithm is proposed. In the procedure, load importance, reliability index, remote or manual controlled switch and investments costs are considered. The results are based on simulations in a 69-bus test system presented and the results are compared to the solution given by others search techniques. This comparison confirms the efficiency of the proposed method which makes it promising to solve complex problems of tie switches and section switches placement in distribution feeders. |
