Considering future smart distribution grid (SDG), the protection and control technology of traditional distribution networks is facing new opportunities and challenges. This paper proposes a Multi-Agent System (MAS) based protection and control method for smart distribution grid. The MAS is consist of intelligent distributed terminal (IDT), control master and communication network. Each IDT is regarded...
The increasing integration of distributed and renewable energy sources into the electrical power network presents challenges for the operation and management of the network. New techniques are required to ensure the effective management of the balance between supply and demand, and the proper maintenance of voltage stability and power quality in the network. A new energy management system, designed...
This paper addresses the new method of controlling wind turbine connected to the grid and presents the approach for implementing wind energy as a distributed generation in a power system. With the aid of a fuzzy controller that regulates the modulation index of PWM inverter in an AC-DC-AC converter, and controllable battery storage connected to DC Bus, output of voltage even during changing wind speed...
With their increasing number, it is getting important that decentralized and renewable energy sources are supporting the stabilization of the system voltage after short voltage dropouts. Often, in the past, these generators were disconnected during network faults. This is not adequate anymore, as it would lead to a loss of a considerable amount of feed-in power. However, if the generators stay connected,...
The quest for intelligent, so called Smart Grid technology is seen by many as the key to future exploitation of renewable energy sources and the inclusion on the Grid of home grown generation from micro CHP systems. But, as Keith Hamilton, Group Managing Director of PBSI Group Limited explains, the prerequisite for the establishment of Smart Grids relies on a significant investment in equipment as...
In this paper, the impacts of DERs on the designed SPSs are investigated and some solutions based on the progressively developing communication infrastructure of the newly evolving smart grids are proposed to maintain the integrity of the power system in extreme contingencies. A sample system with high penetration of DERs is considered and a SPS is designed for the system. Afterwards the impact of...
In this paper wide-area protection is discussed in smart microgrids. Smart grids inherently propose opportunities to enhance the protection of the lines due to the communication capabilities that present. Smart distribution microgrids would have a communication infrastructure that promotes the performance of their protection decisions. The paper considers a sample microgrid with the required communication...
The increase of the electric power demand is at the level 2–3% per year, and in some regions of the world may become much higher. In the same time the infrastructure of power systems develop much slower. The smart grid technology is to use modern telecommunication and informatics to bridge the gap. The aim is to integrate generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of the electrical energy...
