Improving distribution grid reliability is a major challenge for planning and\noperation of distribution systems having a high share of distributed generators\n(DGs). The rise of DGs share can lead to unplanned contingencies while on the\nother hand, they can provide flexibility in supporting grid operations after a\ncontingency event. This paper presents an optimal energy interruption planning\napproach that dispatches the flexibility from DGs and performs a cost-optimal\nload shedding of flexible loads. The proposed approach is tested on a synthetic\ngrid, representing typical urban and low voltage feeders in EU with\ndistribution networks modeled in radial and meshed configurations. The study\nshows that the proposed optimization process can be successfully used to plan\nresources during contingency event and this can lead to a reduction in energy\nnot supplied and improvement of reliability indices.\n
