Reliability enhancement is always considered as the top priority of the power distribution network. It is highly expected that the power network faults can be locally addressed without spreading into the entire grid. To fulfill the requirement, this paper develops a smart power-electronics device named series soft open point (SSOP). The proposed SSOP connects two AC terminals and can suppress the surge current caused by a short-circuit fault. In addition, it also performs the grid-forming function during an islanding fault. The principle of SSOP will be elaborated and the effectiveness of this proposal is validated by experimental results.

In distribution networks with distributed power supplies, distributed power supplies can also be used as backup power sources to support the grid. If a distribution network contains multiple distributed power sources, the distribution network becomes a complex power grid with multiple power supplies. When a short-circuit fault occurs at a certain point on the power distribution network, the size, direction and duration of the short-circuit current are no longer single due to the existence of distributed power, and will vary with the location and capacity of the distributed power supply system. The change, in turn, affects the current in the grid, resulting in the generation and propagation of additional current. This power grid of power electronics will cause problems such as excessive standard mis-operation, abnormal heating of the converter and component burnout, and communication system failure. It is of great and practical significance to study the influence of distributed power in distributed power distribution networks.

Electric power industry as an indispensable energy supply in daily life and production, which is the main motive force of equipment operation in the industrial times. Therefore, in order to meet the development needs and ensure the safety of power supply, it is necessary to optimize and transform the power grid. So that energy conservation and security of supply and demand can be ensured. In this paper, the short-circuit calculation and optimization design of distributed power distribution network are studied deeply, aiming at improving the performance of power grid and promoting the rapid development and transformation of power industry.

A kind of 10KV power distribution network fault indicator integrating measurement and communication functions was researched and developed. Used in 10KV power distribution overhead lines, this indicator is also designed with the communication module, current and temperature measurement module in addition to having the function of plate turning indication in case of grounding or short circuit fault. Through a wireless communication mode, the fault or measurement information is sent to the nearby data terminal unit, which sends the data to the monitoring center through the GPRS network. Workers will know the working status of the whole power distribution network in a real-time manner through the computer of the monitoring center. By adopting the ATmega8L MCU as the core, the new type of fault indicator realizes the wireless data transmission function through NRF24L01.
