Optimal allocation of fault current limiters and distributed generations in the presence of remote controllable switches

الملخص EN

In this paper allocating of DGs and optimal number, locations and size of solid State Fault Current Limiters (SSFCLs) is performed for a case study contains modern protective devices.

Genetic algorithm (GA) is employed for optimal allocating of DGs and SSFCLs.

The distribution system contains remote controllable switches in addition to conventional tools such as fuses, relays and circuit breakers.

The results demonstrate that minimization of distribution protection system cost, is still valid for a distribution system, which contains modern protective devices.
