Design and Implementation of Software for Distribution Service Restoration after Fault Based on Load Balancing
Whena fault of the distribution network has occurred, it is necessary to pinpointthe type of the fault and its location and to isolation the fault by sectionswitches. It is then the task toattempts to restore service to as many unfaulted sections of the feeder aspossible via the available sources. Torestore feeder sections, the feeder must be bothering least one backup sourcewith sufficient capacity to bear the additional load. A method based on the backup feeder loadbalancing is proposed and software is developed. The service restores software obtains thedistribution operation data from distribution automation system (SCADA) and thefeeder parameters from power grid production management system (GPMS). Then compares that loads with the sparecapacity for backup sources and bring out the service restoration plan for thedispatch staff.
