At the same time, remote consumers with their own small-scale generation still have low reliability of power supply and poor power quality, due to the lack of proper technology for grid control when the main power supply is lost. Today, there is a global trend in the transition from a power supply with centralized control to a decentralized one, which has led to the Microgrid concept. A microgrid is an intelligent automated system that can reconfigure by itself, maintain the power balance, and distribute power flows. The main purpose of this paper is to study the method of control using reclosers in the Lahsh district of the Rasht grid in Tajikistan with distributed small generation. Based on modified reclosers, a method of decentralized synchronization and restoration of the grid normal operation after the loss of the main power source was proposed. In order to assess the stable operation of small hydropower plants under disturbances, the transients caused by proactive automatic islanding (PAI) and restoration of the interconnection between the microgrid and the main grid are shown. Rustab software, as one of the multifunctional software applications in the field of power systems transients study, was used for simulation purposes. Based on the simulation results, it can be concluded that under disturbances, the proposed method had a positive effect on the stability of small hydropower plants, which are owned and dispatched by the Rasht grid. Moreover, the proposed method sufficiently ensures the quality of the supplied power and improves the reliability of power supply in the Lahsh district of Tajikistan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/en13143673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]],"date-time":"2020-07-16T10:54:46Z","timestamp":1594896886000},"page":"3673","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Recloser-Based Decentralized Control of the Grid with Distributed Generation in the Lahsh District of the Rasht Grid in Tajikistan, Central Asia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4344-6462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anvari","family":"Ghulomzoda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automated Electric Power Systems, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Novosibirsk 630073, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2366-2491","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aminjon","family":"Gulakhmadov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Ecology and Environment of Central Asia, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"},{"name":"Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of the Republic of Tajikistan, Dushanbe 734064, Tajikistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Fishov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automated Electric Power Systems, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Novosibirsk 630073, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3433-9742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murodbek","family":"Safaraliev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automated Electrical Systems, Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg 620002, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Ecology and Environment of Central Asia, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1901-319X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khusrav","family":"Rasulzoda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Andritz Hydro GmbH, Vienna 1120, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8650-2284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamol","family":"Gulyamov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electric Drive and Electric Machines, Tajik Technical University named after Academic M.
