Restoration Method

Current service restoration methods in distribution systems mainly focus on the single fault. When the distribution system deals with more than one fault, current service restoration methods will not be applicable. A service restoration method for multiple faults is proposed to solve the problem mentioned above. Fault outage areas connected through a loop switch compose an unaided fault recovery area which is regarded as a service restoration unit. In order to eliminate the interaction of communal feeders which are connected to more than one unaided fault recovery area, each communal feeder is decoupled into multiple virtual feeders which are assigned to corresponding unaided fault recovery areas based on load balancing distribution. After the process above, the fault recovery area of multiple faults is divided into several independent fault recovery areas and each independent fault recovery area can be restored by traditional service restoration methods. So the contribution of this algorithm is to solve the problem of service restoration of multiple faults. The result of a calculation example proved the validity of the algorithm.

In The Beginning

In this paper, an incorporated bridge-type superconducting fault current limiter (BSFCL) and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is presented to improve the voltage quality and limiting fault current problems in distribution systems. In order to achieve these capabilities, the BSFCL and DVR are integrated through a common DC link as a BSFCL-DVR system. The FCL and DVR ports of the BSFCL-DVR system are located in the beginning and end of the sensitive loads’ feeder integrated to the point of common coupling (PCC) in the distribution system. At first, the principle operation of the BSFCL-DVR is discussed. Then, a control system for the BSFCL-DVR system is designed to enhance the voltage quality and limit the fault current. Eventually, the efficiency of the BSFCL-DVR system is verified through the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

The Impact

Considering the probabilistic of the wind power and the solar power, a fault recovery method for distribution systems with the wind power and the solar power is presented in this paper. For the wind power, a simplified steady-state equivalent model of an asynchronous wind generator is added into the Jacobian matrix to consider the impact of the wind power on systems. For the solar power, its output is considered as an injected power which is related with solar irradiance. Three-point estimate is employed to solve the probabilistic power flow of distribution systems with the wind power and the solar power. The restoration is described as a multi-objective problem with the mean of the system loss and the number of switch operations. Fast elitist non-dominated sorting partheno-genetic algorithm is used to solve this multi-objective problem. IEEE 33-bus system is used as an example and the results show that the models and algorithms in this paper are efficient.

Abstract: On the condition of protecting the critical load, it is necessary to restore the service of outage area without fault as soon as possible after the occurrence of fault in smart distribution system. A fast service restoration method is proposed for medium-voltage distribution system with distributed generations, which combines intentional islanding of DGs for network reconfiguration. Under the condition of safety limits, the out of service areas are achieved maximization of restoration, making full use of DGs. The whole process of restoration is regarded as a multi-stages decision problem, and divided into four stages. Compared to the existing algorithms, this method can effectively avoid the time-consuming and search results problems, and the simulation results are better. The effectiveness and practicality of the propose approach is demonstrated by simulations on a PG&E 69-nodes system with DGs.

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

Effectiveness Assessment

Fault Current Indicators (FCIs) with communication interfaces have been widely used in distribution systems to reduce fault-finding time. The effectiveness of a Fault Management System (FMS) composed of FCIs greatly depends on the performance of the communication network deployed by the FCIs and the failure rates of distribution systems. The conventional techniques only focus on the issues of optimal number and location of FCIs or communication network deployment individually; therefore, the effectiveness of an FMS cannot be assessed realistically. A systematic effectiveness assessment methodology for FMS considering the performance of the communication network deployed by the FCIs and the failure rates of distribution systems is vital and is investigated in this paper. A communication evaluation platform is designed in this paper and used to acquire the field measurements of communication parameters. The communication parameters, especially the Packet Success Rate (PSR), between two adjacent FCIs are measured, and the Probability Density Function (PDF) of the PSR can be built accordingly. The effectiveness of the FMS is then assessed by stochastic analysis considering the failure rates of the distribution system and PSR PDFs between two adjacent FCIs. Due to the characteristics of easy installation, maintenance, longer battery life, lower cost, and so on of ZigBee, the ZigBee-based FCI is mainly discussed in this paper. In order to efficiently find the communication route when a fault occurs, a fast communication route tracking method is also proposed in this paper and its feasibility is demonstrated in an actual distribution system. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed systematic effectiveness assessment methodology for an FMS composed of FCIs. The proposed assessment methodology can more realistically react to the actual conditions of the FMS and therefore save on installation time and costs.

Electricity distribution systems that use aerial or ground wires often experience various disturbances. Disturbances that often occur are symmetry disturbances or asymmetric disturbances which can be in the form of a short circuit of one phase to the ground, between phases or the breakup of one or more. To determine the magnitude of the fault current is needed transformer distribution system analysis to determine the disturbances that will occur. The transformer which is the main equipment in a GI must be considered to get the right current and safety circuit. Designing an appropriate transformer setting is an effort to protect equipment, systems and consumer needs from interference that may occur in the distribution system. Calculation of the fault current and the magnitude of the transformer nominal current will be used as an important reference in determining the transformer setting in the distribution of voltage to consumers. From the results of these calculations, it can be concluded that the relay feeder performance time is slower than the relay time in the calculation. The data in the field is still in a suitable condition (the difference is not too far away), so that the overall OCR - GFR settings in the field are still in good condition.

The presence of renewable distributed generator (RDG) in a distribution system will have unfavorable impact on the operating system because the distribution system is no longer radial in nature and is not supplied by a single main power source. With RDGs in a distribution network, it brings about a change in the fault current level of the system and causes many problems in the protection system, such as false tripping of protective devices, protection blinding, an increase and decrease in short-circuit levels. This paper presents the effect of RDGs on the fault current level of the system. The operating protection issues particularly in cases where RDGs are added to a LV distribution feeder are also discussed.

The distribution system is at the end of the power system and is directly connected to the energy consumers, which makes the distribution network a vital part of the power system. When a substation suffers an outage, electricity service restoration measures must be taken as soon as possible to reduce the loss. Traditional restoration methods have disadvantages such as poor stability and bad convergence. This paper proposed an approach to resume the power supply after a 35kV substation outage with the help of Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm. The proposed method is tested on a real distribution system. The result shows that the method is effective to solve the problem of electricity service restoration.
