Optimal Recloser Placement in Power Networks Based on Reliability and Cost-Benefit Analysis

Power system protection devices contribute to the detection and mitigation of the faults in a fast and efficient manner. As the grid reliability can degrade due to the faults, the use of auto-recloser in the distribution networks can contribute to the reliability improvement. This study focuses on the identification of the optimum number and location of the auto-reclosers in a distribution network...
