Abstract

This paper presents determination and allocation optimal number of sectionalizer switches using fuzzy based approach to improve the reliability of Berhan power distribution network. My intention to present in this study on the reliability assessment and method of improving reliability is that Debre Berhan power distribution network has frequent instructions. To improve customer reliability of power distribution system different methods can be used. Thus to complete this study MATLAB Simulink models of distribution network initial and optimal number of sectionalizer switch allocation are developed. Sheno 15kV feeder of the distribution network is selected for simulation studies to test the efficiency of the proposed approach. Simulation studies using ETAP software are carried out reliability indies of distribution network with and without optimal number of switch allocation. The simulation results show optimal allocation of sectionalizer switches improve the reliabity indices such as SAIFI, SAIDI and expected energy not supplied (EENS) and evaluates the reliability of Debre Berhan power distribution network using analytical techniques, software simulation and level of optimization achievable through the application optimal placement of switches. At the result of optimal placement of sectionalizers switches for sheno 15kV feeder SAIFI is improved by 12.76% and SAIDI are 41.61%. From the test result the proposed technique presents better interruption cost in comparison that of existing system 64,806.06$/yr. to 57,346.57$/yr. (which is 11.5% reduction) along with improvement in reliability indices and expected energy not supplied (EENS) was improved from 17828.014MWh/yr. to1533.75MWh/yr. (91.04%).
