Abstract:
Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of fault mitigation are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a fault mitigation system for a medium voltage alternating current (MVAC) distribution network including a direct current (DC) link and a control system. The DC link is coupled to a first feeder line and a second feeder line. The control system is structured to determine a first feeder line is deenergized, operate the DC link so as to receive MVAC from a second feeder line and output low voltage alternating current (LVAC) to the first feeder line, operate a plurality of isolation devices, measure the LVAC in response to operating the plurality of isolation devices, determine a fault is isolated from a healthy portion of the first feeder line using the received LVAC measurements, and reenergize the healthy portion of the first feeder line.
