Abstract

In this paper, impedance based method and matching approaches were used separately to detect three phase to ground fault (LLLGF). In order to observe the accuracy of each method, Non-homogeneous distribution network was used as a tested network. Actual data from TNB (Tenaga National Berhad) Malaysia was adopted to model the network by using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.  Both methods were tested to observe the accuracy of fault distance estimation. The comparison result shows different accuracy for each section which simulated in the middle of section. Based on the complexity of the distribution network, it possible to contribute difficulty to obtain the maximum accuracy. The result was obtained through the complete process which involves the database formation acquired through the PSCAD/EMTDC software simulator and the fault location distance calculation carried out by the MATLAB software.

Abstract

Power system-controlled islanding is one of the mitigation techniques taken to prevent blackouts during severe outage. The implementation of controlled islanding will lead to the formation of few islands, that can operate as a stand-alone island. However, some of these islands may not be balanced in terms of generation and load after the islanding execution. Therefore, a good load shedding scheme is required to meet the power balance criterion so that it can operate as a balanced stand-alone island. Thus, this paper developed a load shedding scheme-based metaheuristics technique namely modified discrete evolutionary programming (MDEP) technique to determine the optimal amount of load to be shed in order to produce balanced stand-alone islands. The developed load shedding scheme is evaluated and validated with two other load shedding techniques which are conventional EP and exhaustive search techniques. The IEEE 30-bus and 39-bus test systems were utilized for this purpose. The results proves that the load shedding based MDEP technique produces the optimal amount of loads to be shed with shortest computational time as compared with the conventional EP and exhaustive search techniques.

Abstract

Intentional islanding is the last defense mechanism executed to avoid cascading failures and total blackout in power system network during severe or critical contingency. It is performed when other mitigation techniques are unable to save the network from collapse. Intentional islanding is preferred compared to unintentional islanding, which produces unstable islands. The objective of intentional islanding is to split the network by disconnecting appropriate transmission lines to produce electrically stable and balanced islands. There are many methods suggested by previous researchers on intentional islanding. This paper presents a comprehensive review on various intentional islanding methods proposed based on the common objective function used which are minimal power imbalance and minimal power flow disruption. The paper focuses on five intentional islanding methods which are analytical, numerical, heuristic, meta-heuristic and hybrid approaches. This review paper will serve as guideline and reference for researchers to explore further in this topic of interest.

Abstract

Network splitting is performed to prevent the power system network from blackout event during severe cascading failures. This action will split the power system network into few islands by disconnecting the proper transmission lines. It is very important to select the optimal splitting solution (transmission lines to be removed) to ensure that the implementation of network splitting does not cause the system to worsen. Therefore, this paper investigates two different mutation techniques; single-level and three-level mutation, utilized in Discrete Evolutionary Programming (DEP) optimization to find the optimal splitting solution following a critical line outage. Initial cutsets based heuristic technique is employed to help the convergence of the DEP optimization with minimal power flow disruptions as its fitness function. The techniques are validated using the IEEE 30 and IEEE 118-bus system. The results show that three-level mutation technique produces better optimal splitting solution as compared to single mutation technique.
