Abstract
This study describes the development of a methodology of optimal allocation of reclosers to improve the quality of service indices of power distribution networks. Normally opened devices used for distress between feeders, as well as normally closed devices, used in the sectioning of feeders and in the isolation of faults, are treated by the proposed approach. The methodology was implemented in a software that allows one to consider several distribution feeders simultaneously. It also allows the evaluation of the gains of load transfers and the calculation of typical quality of service indices such as system average interruption duration index, system average interruption frequency index and energy not supplied. The validation was successfully carried out in a real case study of the Bandeirante – Energias de Portugal distribution network, applied to georeferenced networks, with a high number of buses and line segments.
