Short-Term Scheduling of Active Distribution Systems

Description:
The latest distribution management systems tend to incorporate optimization functions for the short-term scheduling of the various energy and control resources available in the network (e.g., embedded... see more generators, reactive power compensators and transformers equipped with on-load tap changers). The short-term scheduling procedure adopted in the paper is composed by two stages: a day-ahead scheduler for the optimization of distributed resources production during the following day, an intra-day scheduler that every 15 minutes adjusts the scheduling in order to take into account the operation requirements and constraints of the distribution network. The intra-day scheduler solves a non-linear multi-objective optimization problem by iteratively applying a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) algorithm. The linearization of the optimization function and the constraints is achieved by the use of sensitivity coefficients obtained from the results of a three phase power flow calculation. The paper shows the application of the proposed approach to a medium-voltage 120 buses network with 10 dispatchable generators and 2 transformers equipped with on-load tap changers.

Indirect Lightning Performance of a Real Distribution Network with focus on Transformer Protection

Description:
The paper applies the Monte Carlo procedure proposed by the Authors to evaluate the indirect lightning performance of a real medium-voltage distribution network, which includes feeders and laterals, p... see moreoles, secondary substations and surge protection devices. Such a procedure allows inferring the amplitude of lightning-induced voltages at any point and any phase of the network. The analysis presented in this paper aims at assessing the expected mean time between failures of each MV/LV transformer caused by indirect lightning strikes.
A heuristic technique has been specifically developed to reduce the computational effort despite the non-linear response of the network enhanced by the presence of surge arresters.

Selection of MV/LV Transformers to be Protected by Surge Arresters against Indirect Lightning Overvoltages

Description:
The papers addresses the problem of locating surge protective devices in a medium voltage distribution network by means of an accurate computer model for the calculation of lightning induced overvolta... see moreges and a Monte Carlo statistical procedure. The indirect lightning performance of small network cells of different configuration are evaluated and used as a benchmark for the validation of the surge arrester locations provided by a genetic algorithm procedure. The obtained results appear useful for the lightning protection design of networks
with complex topology.
