Abstract

This paper presents a novel scenario-based stochastic mixed-integer second-order cone programming model to solve the problem of optimal reconfiguration of distribution systems with renewable energy sources considering short-circuit constraints. The proposed formulation minimizes technical losses by modifying the statuses of sectionalizing and tie switches, allowing the operation of distribution networks with radial and closed-loop topologies. Since the formation of loops could impact fault current levels, short-circuit constraints are considered in the problem formulation. Numerical experiments are carried out using an 84-node system and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed formulation to reduce technical losses notably when a closed-loop operation is allowed. Additionally, it is verified that short-circuit constraints prevent the adoption of network configurations with high short-circuit values. (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (AU)
