Abstract

A Distribution Automation Systems (DAS) is operating to monitor and control the Distribution networks in Korea. The optimal configuration of distribution networks by automatic switch location can enhance efficiency of the operation and restoration, and improve the power supply reliability of a DAS. This paper proposes an algorithm to decide the optimal placement of automatic switches in a DAS. The proposed algorithm was developed for six sections and three links configuration.
