Abstract
As smart grid technologies improve the reliability of the power system, objectively quantifying the increases in reliability becomes more important. In this paper, traditional probabilistic methods are used, along with actual outage data, to analyze the system reliability impact of automatic transfer switching and midline reclosing relays. Analysis is done on a 13 feeder and a 55 feeder system. A method is presented for determining the optimal number and location of reclosers on a distribution feeder taking into account economic factors and reliability benefits. The method is used on a distribution feeder and the results are compared to the current midline recloser placements.
