However, the grids is prone to failures, resulting in economic losses and blackouts in daily activities, due to various events such as equipment aging, natural disasters, and human errors. On the other hand, the increasing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the aging of the existing infrastructure have posed the challenges to distribution grids reliability. One way to enhance the reliability of the distribution grids is to optimally locate reclosers. Reclosers are automatic, protective switches that isolate faults and restore power electricity within seconds, which minimizes the impact of outages to end-users. Therefore, this paper aims to present Keyphrases: Distribution grid reliability, ETAP, SAIDI, SAIFI, electricity undersupply, reclosers placement
