Abstract |
This paper presents an intelligent reclosing scheme to reduce a damage of power equipments in power distribution systems. As the number of reclosing shot increases, an power supply reliability is improved, but an impact of electric facilities by fault currents is accumulated. The proposed scheme determines the number of reclosing shots and its intervals according to the magnitude of fault current. Therefore, this scheme reduces a harm of electric facilities, and maintains the power supply reliability. Case studies is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme using field operation data. |
