The distribution system model includes modeling of lines, cables, transformers, switches, capacitors, loads and DGs. IEEE test cases are designed for testing the three phase unbalanced algorithm for single source systems.

So if there are any accident in underground power cable, its inference is too great to count. So power system operators should find its fault location as soon as possible and replace it. But it is difficult to find its fault location for underground power cable. We are developing fault location system for underground power cable which can detect its fault location exactly. This system usually monitor underground power cable on-line. But if there are an accident, it record its transient signal and we can calculate fault location by analyzing it. To develop fault location system for power cable, we needed fault simulation system and we installed it physically and tested at various point.

We draw a one-to-one correspondence of the observability of a network to the rank of a corresponding sensitivity matrix. This general framework is not purely based on topological aspects, but takes into account all electrical quantities of the network and turns out to be very generic and flexible. In order to solve the observability problem, a novel algorithm for very fast \"pseudorank\" calculations on sparse matrices is developed. This approach allows, on the one hand, to identify equivalence classes of redundant measurements. On the other hand, the algorithm can detect all observable islands and group unobservable states according to their \"observability deficiency\". Our algorithm bares high potential in coping with unobservable areas: a method is described which incorporates a minimum number of pseudo-measurements to yield observability. The performance of the algorithm is tested on real-world network (with data gained from an underlying ABB MicroSCADA system) and compared to common rank calculation with singular value decompositions on sparse matrices","PeriodicalId":123024,"journal":{"name":"2005/2006 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133531237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wind, PV, CHP, microturbines, fuel cells and also different kinds of energy storages are expected to be the future decentralised generation units. These units supply electrical energy at the low and medium voltage level which changes its functionality. A big amount of the locally generated energy is also consumed locally so the distribution network gets a local network character. There is not a lot of experience in the planning and operation of such local distribution systems. Some pilot projects in Europe like EDISon, or DisPower give the first practical information about the problems connected with the planning and operation of the electric networks with dispersed energy resources (DER). Also the CIGRE is working on these problems in the scope of the Scientific Committee SC6. In this paper a benchmark network proposal based on a European Project and the discussion in the scope of the CIGRE SC6 group is presented. The topology of the local distribution network and its parameters are presented. A methodology for the use of the proposed parameters and for the sensitivity analysis is given. Additionally some simulation examples for different local energy generation scenarios are presented.
