Abstract

Interdependencies among software components for distribution network reconfiguration, reliability and protection system analysis are considered. Software interface specifications are presented. Required functionalities of reconfiguration for restoration are detailed. Two algorithms for reconfiguration for restoration are reviewed and compared. Use of outage analysis data to locate circuit sections in need of reliability improvements and to track predicted improvements in reliability is discussed
