This paper will discuss how this new approach using a differential type protection schemes on automated distribution feeders performed over a 6 year period. The paper will discuss in detail a number of field operations. The paper will provide detailed information of all considerations that was implemented as part of the protection function to ensure dependable performance. At A&N Electrical a two source loop feeder system and at Wake Electrical a mesh connected 3 source feeder system provided the field operation content that for this paper. This new approach is important as current methods using time coordinated over current curves present real challenges for protection engineers to overcome. This will become more of an issue as Distributed Generation perpetration increase on the distribution system. An Automated Distribution Feeder with an ever changing topology and or power source, required true adaptive protection systems to ensure that protection will accurately operate for all system faults. An adaptive approach can be extremely costly and complex to deploy, test and commission. Current protection systems are well suited to protect simple static feeder topologies. When a feeder system topology changes the protection system must adapt to accommodate this change. Although most protection devices today can provide up to 8 protection setting groups, the calculation of all the time coordinated curves to be implemented can become a time consuming and costly exercise. In addition all settings for all setting groups must be implemented, tested and commissioned on all devices prior to activation of the feeder adding to the implementation costs. The differential approach is immune to changes of feeder topology and provides a simple solution to complex problems.","PeriodicalId":6568,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84845295","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}

Therefore setting up and maintaining reliable Substation Communication Networks (SCN) becomes a critical issue for the grid operator. This paper introduces the process of maintaining and inspecting the communication baseline of the SCN to help to prevent communication failure, detecting intrusion and expediting troubleshooting. In this paper, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is employed.

Due to high variability of renewable generation resources, the imbalance between load and generation may lead to instability of the system. Since the microgrid can not compensate the power imbalance from the main grid, demand response in general and battery storage system specifically, can contribute in frequency regulation of microgrid. Conventional generator regulates the frequency with load frequency control (LFC) loop. Batteries connected to inverters can also contribute in regulating the frequency with the embedded frequency-watt control curve in inverter. In this paper, distributed battery storage systems are utilized to correct a given frequency deviation in the microgrid. The battery contribution is analyzed in centralized and decentralized environments. The optimal value of droop of distributed batteries are obtained and the small signal stability of the system is investigated.","PeriodicalId":6568,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"43 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73630267","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}

Key to their long-term design and safe operation is the ampacity rating that dictates the upper operational temperature the line is designed to handle. Incorrect line ampacity rating modelling parameters can result in the conductor operating at a much higher temperature than predicted and introduce a Temperature Risk condition where electrical line clearance is severely violated, as well as causing physical and thermal degradation to both the conductor and associated hardware. Using an Engineered Surface Coating enables the use of prescribed values for emissivity and absorptivity throughout the life of the conductor, working to mitigate the possibility of a Temperature Risk condition.

Results revealed close agreement (1–3% difference) between the measured and analytically obtained positive-sequence impedances for the measured line. Differences in zero-sequence impedances were much larger (about 20%), reflecting the use of a generic assumption for earth resistivity in computing transmission line electrical characteristics. Accurate knowledge of line impedances can enhance the reliability of protection settings, thus minimizing the risk of relay misoperations. Also, it can advance the quality of power system models used in planning, engineering and operating studies, as mandated by NERC under Reliability Standard MOD-032-1.","PeriodicalId":6568,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"47 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76737453","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}

Smit, Alexandr Stinskiy, Suraj Chanda","doi":"10.1109/TDC.2018.8440305","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/TDC.2018.8440305","url":null,"abstract":"The growing adoption of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar, onsite energy storage and electric vehicles requires power utilities to support increasing grid interconnections, and higher system reliability standards. This electrical distribution grid of the near future requires advanced distribution automation applications to provide foundational grid capabilities. These capabilities include advance Fault Detection Isolation and Restoration (FLISR) functionality. For correct and reliable grid operation, these advance distribution automation applications should consider various load restoration scenarios and significant amount of dynamically changing distributed energy recourses. These factors increase the complexity of the algorithms used by the applications and require reliable communication systems to exchange all critical information between the automation controllers in the field. To support the future distribution grid, authors believe for fast, reliable, and efficient operations such automation systems should have intelligence at the edge of the network. To achieve this goal, authors are developing a modern distribution automation control system with advanced protection and automation logic capabilities utilizing distributed intelligence architecture. As an added benefit of the distributed intelligence approach, this new automation system has a minimal impact on SCE's existing distribution, substation protection, and grid management systems. Resulting in a drop into place solution, which is interoperable with existing systems. The chosen communication system, however, ultimately defines the reliability of the entire system and its operating speed. For approximately 25 years, Southern California Edison has utilized a mesh connected radio system, called Netcom, for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), which now contains over fifty thousand nodes. This system works with sub-gigahertz frequency, thus having very good propagation and reliability. However, the radio terminals operate with serial interface utilizing the DNP3 protocol that does not support a large-scale peer-to-peer data exchange. The distributed intelligence application logic can efficiently work if multiple devices can quickly exchange fault information to make operational decisions. To achieve this, status and critical fault information from any field controller must be available to the rest of the system. In order to leverage SCE's Netcom system and perform peer-to-peer data exchange over the DNP protocol, authors developed the new DNP Router concept. The DNP Router allows a DNP based communication system to mimic a publisher-subscriber communications model by polling individual controllers in the field and sending (a.k.a. publishing) the acquired information back to assigned (a.k.a. subscribed) system components via commands. However, the legacy Netcom communication system has a number of limitations which includes packet size and bandwidth ca","PeriodicalId":6568,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"47 4 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82775998","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}
