Improving power continuity by the installation of reclosers: Case study

The paper presents the possibility of improving the reliability of electricity supply by installing the automatic circuits reclosers in the medium voltage distribution network. Considerations are based on a case study of the grid in the selected area of energy distribution. After the initial description of the grid’s parameters the results of reclosers installation were given in the tables. These results relate primarily to the interruption duration and leaving the customers without power supplying. In this paper, the importance of indicators SAIDI, SAIFI was presented. For the studied energy distribution area their values were calculated. The results were discussed.
