USING SMART FAULT INDICATO IMPROVE RELIABILITY INDICES OF DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Abstract

The demand for power supply reliability of the distribution grid is
increasing. Today, customers not only require power quality but also demand the
reliability of the distribution grid. There are methods such as using recloser,
open-loop distribution networks, and disconnectors switches to improve the
reliability of the distribution grid. In recent years, smart fault warning devices are
starting to be applied on the distribution grid to reduce the time lost in locating
the fault. This paper presents a method of using a combination of an open - loop
distribution grid with disconnectors switches and fault warning devices to
improve the reliability of distribution grid. The calculation results are illustrated
by the PSS program.
