Service Restoration in Electric Power Distribution Networks

Abstract: Automatic service restoration in distributional networks has been studied. After a thorough examination of the literature in this field, one algorithm was selected and implemented as a Fortran program. This implementation was then proved to be effective. Further improvements to the algorithm was introduced and in three cases these proved to be successful. For example: An operational aid indicating roughly the order of the switching operations was added, the number of switching operations decreased in some cases and the priority of the zones was made more important.
