Abstract

This paper presents an approach to optimize the placement of fault indicator devices in distribution systems using the cross-entropy method and results from traffic simulations. The problem formulation takes into account the impact of the devices on restoration times and costs due to fines related to service interruption reliability indices. Candidate solutions to the problem are evaluated using sequential Monte Carlo simulations, where travel times of maintenance crews are sampled according to data acquired from mobility traffic simulations. Results show the applicability of the approach in different simulation scenarios and the benefits of installing the devices in distribution networks.
