As smart grids concepts develop, different approaches try to take advantage of the grid intelligent features and infrastructure to evolve a fast and robust self-healing scheme. At the distribution level, the self-healing schemes are responsible for performing automatic corrective and self-restorative actions. This task includes managing the service restoration by locating and isolating the fault, and reconfiguring the network topology to decrease the harm. This paper presents a self-healing scheme using Artificial Immune System as an optimization tool to solve the service restoration problem in power systems considering faults within the internal switch breakers. To make this approach suitable for bigger systems, the Prim Algorithm is used due to its capacity to generate minimum spanning trees from a graph. The proposed scheme is tested on benchmark systems to investigate the capacity of proposing feasible solutions for faulted systems.","PeriodicalId":345318,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Latin America (ISGT LATAM)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124192190","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}

This paper presents a real-time battery management algorithm (BMA) for peak demand shaving in small energy communities with grid-connected PV systems. The BMA aims to control the charge/discharge of the community battery storage using measurement of the instantaneous power consumption of the community. Historical data records of community daily energy consumption and available renewable energy are taken into account to manage the charge/discharge of the battery. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the BMA which is able to reduce the peak energy consumption by 35%, increase PV self-consumption by 47% and reduce transmission line losses during the peak period by 56% when compared to a PV system without the battery storage.","PeriodicalId":345318,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Latin America (ISGT LATAM)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129488883","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}
