Survivability Schemes for the Power Distribution Network in the Smart Grid Era
نویسنده
چکیده
The Smart Grid concept introduces an updated architecture and new elements to the traditional power grid. As a result, existing survivability schemes that have been designed with a centralized architecture in mind are either inefficient or no longer applicable. In this paper, we review several solutions that have been suggested in the literature in order to ensure the proper operation of the power distribution network within the Smart Grid context. Their applications range from decentralized voltage regulation, to blackout prevention, or quick restoration of supply in case a failure is unavoidable. Keywords—smart grid, survivability, reliability, self-healing, restoration, reconfiguration, multiagent systems, distribution systems, power distribution network, protection, microgrids

متن کاملVery Fast Load Flow Calculation Using Fast-Decoupled Reactive Power Compensation Method for Radial Active Distribution Networks in Smart Grid Environment Based on Zooming Algorithm
Distribution load flow (DLF) calculation is one of the most important tools in distribution networks. DLF tools must be able to perform fast calculations in real-time studies at the presence of distributed generators (DGs) in a smart grid environment even in conditions of change in the network topology. In this paper, a new method for DLF in radial active distribution networks is proposed. The ...
