RIOS, J.C.; QUINATOA, C.I.  and  CASILLAS, G.I.. Optimal Location of Reclosers in Distribution Networks with Distributed Generation Using Genetic Algorithms and Service Quality Indexes. Revista Técnica energía [online]. 2023, vol.20, n.1, pp.65-72. ISSN 2602-8492.  https://doi.org/10.37116/revistaenergia.v20.n1.2023.571.

This paper presents a mathematical model for optimal location of reclosers placement using the genetic algorithm optimization technique in distribution systems, considering the insertion of distributed resources, such as distributed systems. The methodology includes the power flow solution using the open-source software OpenDSS, through the interface developed by Electric Power Research Institute - EPRI. The values of voltages, currents, powers and SAIFI/SAIDI indicators are transferred to Matlab software. The optimization algorithm determines the proper positions to install reclosers.

Keywords : reclosers; genetic algorithm; distributed energy resources; distributed systems; OpenDSS; quality of service; SAIFI; SAIDI.
