Restoration Method

The increasingly serious energy crisis and environmental pollution problems promote the large-scale application of microgrids (MGs) and electric vehicles (EVs). As the main carrier of MGs and EVs, distribution network is gradually presenting multi-source and active characteristics. A fast service restoration method of multi-source active distribution network with MGs and EVs is proposed in this paper for service restoration of distribution network, which takes effectiveness, rapidity, economy and reliability into consideration. Then, different optimal power flow (OPF) models for the service restoration strategy are constructed separately to minimize the network loss after service restoration. In addition, a genetic algorithm was introduced to solve the OPF model. The analysis of the service restoration strategy is carried out on an IEEE distribution system with three-feeder and eighteen nodes containing MGs and EVs, and the feasibility and effectiveness are verified

Optimal Power

This paper examines the electric power distribution network system of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC); its shortcomings, costs and voltage loss in distribution with a view to finding optimal solution through determination of optimal power flow path. The Modified Dijsktra’s Algorithm was applied to generate optimal flow path model of the distribution network with seven (7) nodes from Afam Thermal Power Station (source) to the Calabar Distribution Centre (destination) via the interconnected substations. The structural design of the PHEDC distribution network and a review of relevant literatures on shortest path problems were adopted. The modified Dijkstra’s algorithm was simulated using JavaScript and is able to run on any web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc). It was applied to a practical 330kV network using the relevant data obtained from the company and the result shows the negative effect of distance on voltage quality. It was observed that the Modified Dijkstra’s Algorithm is suitable for determining optimal power flow path with up to 98 percent level of accuracy because of its suitability for determining the shortest route in both transportation and power energy distribution as well as its overall performance with minimal memory space and fast response time.
