Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation

Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation provides the fundamentals of emergency operation using a graph-theoretic approach and exploration of the subsystem(s) that address the operational aspects of electrical fault occurrence to determine possible feeder reconfiguration. The localization of a faulted segment within a feeder involves remote-controlled normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switches through supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) between radially energized, interconnected feeders. Topics covered include data extraction from geographic information systems (GIS), graph modeling of distribution feeders, programming for backward/forward sweeping unbalanced power flow, short-circuit analysis and fault localization, fault isolation and temporary and full service restoration, outage management and crew coordination, trouble call tickets and escalation to search for fault, and emerging subject of distribution management systems (DMS).

MATLAB is used to solve examples throughout the book.
