This paper introduce an algorithm for service restoration in electric power distribution systems. Power utility performs service restoration in order to restore out-of-service areas at fault. Developing effective service restoration program is a cost-effective approach to improve service reliability and to enhance customer satisfaction. The main objective in service restoration program is to restore as much load as possible by transferring de-energized loads via network reconfigurations to other supporting distribution feeders without violating operating and engineering constrains.

This paper proposes two types of sub-network based on dynamic restoration schemes to improve survivability of GMPLS networks and analyzes characteristics of these two schemes. The first proposed scheme divides with a whole GMPLS network into several sub-networks, applies a mixture of both restoration and protection methods according to fault location. The other scheme divides a whole GMPLS network into primary and secondary sub-networks, applies a restoration method in each sub-network according to fault location. In our simulation, we evaluate the performances of network resource utilization, restoration success rate, and mean restoration time and conduct its comparative analysis with conventional schemes. The simulation results show that the efficiency of network resource utilization in the proposed schemes is increased as compared with conventional restoration schemes (l＋l, 1:1, 1:N) in case of single-failed link. By contrast, we found that the performances of restoration success rate and mean restoration time in case of multi-failed link is lower than conventional restoration schemes. However, the probability that multi-failed link is occurred is very low so that the problem in practical GMPLS network is negligible.

This paper is to introduce a more effective and flexible restoration algorithm composed to the fault preventing and restoring system now in use. This was possible by considering the changes that can occur by the proper or the improper run of the Feeder, which the power system restoration method now using didn't consider. The new algorithm uses the method minimizing the loss with respect to the load changes occuring when the power system is restored, rather than just simply following the SOP that is only composed of a single Feeder On/off combination. This can present the more effective power system running method for the safer subway running and passenger transport, by giving the system operator the chance to choose between the SOP and the minimum loss method.

This paper presents new service restoration algorithm to deal with multiple faults such as main transformer fault, whole substation fault and simultaneous faults. The most important consideration of restoration planning for multiple outage areas is efficient use of redundant backup feeders. The proposed algorithm tries to restore all outage loads using outage area ordering method and tie switch exchange method that are newly proposed in this paper.

This paper presents for service restoration Abstract -in electric power distribution systems. The aim of the service restoration is an emergency control in distribution system to restore out-of service areas as soon as possible when a fault occurs in distribution system. For this reason, this paper presents a new service restoration strategy for multi-outage areas. Proposed algorithm consists of two methods. One is individual restoration scheme, the other one is integrated restoration scheme. The former determines restoration order of outage areas based on restoration index. If the former method can not generate a feasible restoration plan, the latter would try to find new configuration without overloaded section through tie exchange method.

OBS(Optical Burst Switching) networks which decouple the burst from its header has characteristic one-way reservation. Therefore, the fault of a fiber link may lead to the magnitude of burst loss. Since sending a header packet and using an offset time before the transmission of the corresponding burst. In this paper, we analysis a offset time based on the burst loss rate resulting from only link failure and by applying the restoration schemes in an optical burst switching networks. The simulation results in terms of the effect of a offset time is evaluated in our network model to verify that comparing the numerical analysis with simulation result. Finally, and through these results, We propose the new restoration scheme based on offset time considered Quality of Service.

The distribution system is operated radially in which electrical grid is complex. If a fault occurs in distribution system, it can make a huge impact on power supply. Therefore, The distribution contingency analysis is proposed in this paper based on the reference [1]. Using RSI (Restoration Section Index) calculated by feeder margin and section load, the operator can grasp restoration capability quickly.

When the fault occurred at distribution system, the restoration was late. There are 2 reasons The one is the error of fault location the other is multiple possible candidates of fault location. This paper presents two of new techniques for diagnosing fault regions. The proposed diagnosis scheme is capable of accurately identifying the location of fault upon its occurrence. based on the integration of information available from protective devices and measured load current change at the substation. In this paper expert system for real fault region is presented using these facts. Testing of the developed system using EMTP Simulation Model has demonstrated.

In OBS (Optical Burst Switching) networks which decouple the burst from its header, the fault of a fiber link can lead to the failure of all the light-path that traverses the fiber. Because each light-path is expected to operate at a rate of a few Gbps by using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, any failure may lead to large data loss. Therefore, an efficient recovery scheme must be provided. In this paper, we analyze network utilization and BCP (Burst Control Packet) loss rate according to each link failure by applying the conventional restoration schemes in OBS networks. And through these simulation results, an ASPR scheme is proposed improve the fault management scheme in terms of recovery time and throughput. Finally, We compare the performance of our proposed scheme with that of the conventional one with respect to burst loss rate, resource utilization and throughput by OPNET simulations.

To secure a service continuity is one of the most important mission in the ower distribution system operation. In this paper the necessary and sufficient condition to guarantee 100% service restoration capability for any fault on the system is reported. An evaluation methodology of the restoration capability(or restorability) is developed based on the developed restoration conditions. Applications of the developed concept to the system operation in the normal and emergency states, that would enhance the supply reliability of the system are described. They include enhancement of restoration capability adapting to load change, identification of best open switch and supervised switch positions.
