Protection Systems Against Lightning-Originated Overvoltages in Resonant Grounded Power Distribution Systems

Description:
A joint research project between AES Sul, the Federal University of Itajubá and the University of Bologna aims at defining the required protections against lightning-originated overvoltages in a reso... see morenant grounded distribution system in order to achieve the adequate lightning performance level with minimum cost. The paper aims at illustrating the effectiveness of the presence of a surge arrester or spark gap and their protective zone by means of simulations obtained with a computer code for the calculation of lightning induced voltages that takes also into account the steady-state voltage. The results of a statistical analysis for a single multiconductor line are eventually presented and discussed.

Continuous-Wavelet Transform for Fault Location in Distribution Power Networks: Definition of Mother Wavelets Inferred From Fault Originated Transients

Description:
The paper presents a fault location procedure for distribution networks based on the wavelet analysis of the fault-generated traveling waves. In particular, the proposed procedure implements the conti... see morenuous wavelet analysis applied to the voltage waveforms recorded during the fault in correspondence of a network bus. In order to improve the wavelet analysis, an algorithm is proposed to build specific mother wavelets inferred from the fault-originated transient waveforms. The performance of the proposed algorithm are analyzed for the case of the IEEE 34-bus test distribution network and compared with those achieved by using the more traditional Morlet mother wavelet.

Co-simulation Platform for the Analysis of Communication-based

Description:
The paper presents an ICT and power co-simulation platform for the analysis of the volt/var control and relevant optimization in medium voltage distribution feeders, achieved by means of a system of d... see moreistributed controllers coordinated via a shared band-limited digital communication network. The platform has been built by realizing the interface between two specific simulation environments: the Electromagnetic Transient Program EMTP-RV and the communication network simulator Opnet Modeller. The preliminary results provide basic indications on the expected performances of the considered communication-based strategies for different traffic congestion levels and load/generation dynamic variations.
