چکیده

Power systems are naturally exposed to several fault conditions, namely short-circuits. Automatic protection and control systems are responsible for selective tripping of faulted devices and their subsequent reconnection. An application to automatically diagnosing abnormal conditions in power distribution network substations is described in this work. It is based on a model of the power network and the associated protection and control system. Its main purpose is to assist in the analysis of protection device records, explain the observed operations and detect possible misbehavior. This application is specified and implemented using a combination of Logic Programming tools and techniques, in particular non-monotonic reasoning. The model is structured in several abstraction levels and a set of strategies and preferences is used to guide the diagnosis process. The developed application was tested with several substation configurations, including sequences of events recorded at real installations.

Simultaneous power sharing and protection against faults for DGs in microgrid with different loads

The LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through) is the main characteristic of every power system in faulty conditions. When fault occurs, it is essential for power system such as microgrid to control the voltage and frequency normally. Naturally in fault status, the unbalanced voltage and current are inevitable, but with the aid of LVRT technique, microgrid can keep stability in main system parameters such...
