An adaptive protection infrastructure for modern distribution grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of renewable energy resources and conventional distributed generation (DG) in modern distribution networks challenges the traditional protection schemes, since the radial single-fed concept is no longer adopted. In this paper, a new adaptive protection system, which takes advantage of multiple relay setting groups (SGs) and optimisation techniques, is introduced. Moreover, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) configuration appropriate for testing adaptive protection systems is presented. A distribution test system with large DG penetration is used to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed solution, and simulation results are thoroughly discussed.

Adaptive Protection Based on Intelligent Distribution Networks with the Help of Network Factorization in the Presence of Distributed Generation Resources
Factorizing a system is one of the best ways to make a system intelligent. Factorizing the protection system, providing the right connecting agents, and transmitting the information faster and more reliably can improve the performance of a protection system and maintain system reliability against distributed generation resources. This study presents a new method for coordinating network protect...
متن کاملAdaptive Setting of UFLS Relay Using Hourly Programming with Consideration of Renewable Energy Sources in Smart Grid
In the light of the emergence of smart grids, the functions associated with this type of grids in the blocks of the energy management system require the adoption of robust strategies in order to provide a higher level of control and protection. Under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) sheds load blocks when the frequency drop is below the threshold limit. In adaptive UFLS, in an advanced telecommun...
متن کاملAdaptive Unstructured Grid Generation Scheme for Solution of the Heat Equation
An adaptive unstructured grid generation scheme is introduced to use finite volume (FV) and finite element (FE) formulation to solve the heat equation with singular boundary conditions. Regular grids could not acheive accurate solution to this problem. The grid generation scheme uses an optimal time complexity frontal method for the automatic generation and delaunay triangulation of the grid po...
متن کاملAdvanced and Adaptive Protection for Active Distribution Grid
Classic protection schemes for existing distribution systems designed for passive and radial networks have been shown to be inadequate for emerging distribution grids. A new protection paradigm, architecture and philosophy are required in response to changes in behaviour of fault currents. These changes are due to the introduction of distributed generation and flexible network topologies, micro...
متن کاملEquidistribution grids for two-parameter convection–diffusion boundary-value problems
In this article, we propose an adaptive grid based on mesh equidistribution principle for two-parameter convection-diffusion boundary value problems with continuous and discontinuous data. A numerical algorithm based on an upwind finite difference operator and an appropriate adaptive grid is constructed. Truncation errors are derived for both continuous and discontinuous problems. Parameter uni...
