Abstract:
Systems and methods for restoring service within electrical power systems are disclosed. The methods may include identifying a restoration path for an outage area within a power system, selecting a mobile energy resource connection site that is electrically connected to at least one of the restoration path and the outage area, sending power injection requests to a plurality of mobile energy resources, at least some of which may be proximate the connection site, receiving power injection acceptances from participating ones of the plurality of mobile energy resources, and implementing the restoration path. The systems may include a processor and a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of machine-readable instructions embodied thereon and configured for execution by the processor to carryout the method.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for classifying power line events are disclosed. Classifying power line events may include receiving measured data corresponding to a signal measured on a power line, such as proximate a substation bus or along the power line, determining from the measured data that the power line event has occurred, extracting at least one event feature from the measured data, and determining at least partially from the at least one event feature at least one probable classification for the power line event. The systems may include an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) connected to the power line and a processor linked to the IED.
Abstract:
An exemplary method for configuring an intelligent electronic device (figure 1) in a power delivery system includes receiving identification data for the intelligent electronic device (102), based on the received identification data and on capabilities of the intelligent electronic device (104), generating a configuration profile for the intelligent electronic device (104), receiving operating parameters for the intelligent electronic device (106), determining a coordination of the intelligent electronic device with the power delivery system based on the received operating parameters (108), displaying the determined coordination (110), modifying the configuration profile based on the received operating parameters and the determined coordination (111), and configuring the intelligent electronic device with the modified configuration profile (114).
Abstract:
The invention describes a method, system, device, and computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for classifying faults (202) on an electrical power line (102). In particular, the invention permits he classification or crossover faults, using a local measuremen technique. The inventive method includes providing a first electrical power transmission line and a second electrical transmission line, and monitoring the first electrical power transmission line to identify a crossover fault occurring between the first and the second electrical power transmission line.
Abstract:
An intelligent fuse provides the operational status of the power network upon whit the fuse is installed to a mobile device of a remote user. A fuse electronic circuit embedded in the fuse holder of the fuse captures the characteristic values of the power network and transmits the data to the mobile device. The mobile device ha an application installed thereon to calculate the distance to fault location from the recording fuse using the fuse electronic circuit-captured data. The fuse electronic circuit-captured data is further used to visualize the data collected at the measurement points of the electrical system upon which the fuse is installed.
Abstract:
Upon occurrence of a fault in a power distribution network 10 that causes a recloser 20d to open, the reclosing of the recloser 20d is delayed dependent on the states of distributed power sources 14 in the power distribution network 10.
Abstract:
A method of forecasting loads on a distribution network is disclosed. The method employs load profiles in combination with short-term load estimations to forecast expected loads on a distribution network. The predicted loads may then be used by power restoration controllers when performing back-feed capacity checks.
