In recent years, power companies have been looking for intelligent electricity distribution networks, so as to employ an intelligent level of networking based on deployment of Distributed Generation (DG) and switching equipment entailing the ability to send and receive data and run commands. This level of intelligent development also covers network automation, enhancing reliability and economic exploitation of all available resources within the network at normal and faulty modes. This study proposed an acceptable level of intelligent development based on traditional non-restructured electricity distribution networks. At the next stage, it adopted a complex algorithm to present a method for operation of the network under normal and faulty circumstances with the aim of further cost savings and enhancement of reliability. Simulations carried out on part of the distribution network of Ilam based on actual data through Digsilent yielded satisfactory results.
