Abstract
Considering problems associated with vastness of distribution networks, a method to confront these problems and preventing frequently occurred failures, improve network's reliability for outages. One of the effective methods of improving distribution network's reliability is the use of equipment for indicating fault location in order to rapidly locate the failure position. In the present work, placement of fault indicators using multi-goal objective function has been accomplished which aims high reliability and low costs. On the other hand, in order to make the results as accurate as possible, system loads are considered with uncertainty and modeled using fuzzy triangular membership function. Optimizing this problem, especially for huge networks, is an intricate and difficult task which has been focused here based on the NSGAII algorithm.
