Abstract

This paper presents the contingency analysis to study the impact of forced or planned outageson electrical distribution system. The mathematical modeling of contingency analysis includes; the loadflow analysis and the power restoration analysis. The power restoration is formulated as a constrainedmulti-objective optimization problem, based on the ranking search method. The method performs loadflow simulations and utilizes the analytical information obtained to maximize the amount of total powerrestored and to minimize the number of required switching operations.In this work the contingencyanalysis is based on the advanced CYMDIST software as a tool for the simulation of a distributionnetwork and performing the required analysis. CYMDIST software is practical and efficient analysissoftware used by many electrical companies worldwide as well as by the Iraqi ministry of electricity.
