Abstract
In this paper, autonomous separation methodology of faulted section based on network is proposed newly, which can minimize the outage effect as compared with the existing center-based faulted section separation method by determining and separating autonomously the faulted section by the free operation information exchange among IEDs on the feeder of distribution system. The all IEDs is designed in network in which client/server function is possible in order to separate autonomously the faulted section using PtP(Peer to Peer) communication. Also, Inference based solution of IED for the autonomous faulted section separation is designed by rules obtained from the analyzing results of distribution system topology. Here, the switch IEDs transmit on network the fault information utilizing on multi-casting communication method, at the fame time, determine selfly whether they operates or not by inferencing autonomously the faulted section using the inference-based solution after receiving the transmitted information. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness and application possibility of the proposed methodology, the diversity fault cases are simulated for the typical distribution system.
