Application Functions
• Network Reconfiguration
a) Fault localization
b) Service Restoration
c) Load Balancing
• Integrated Volt-Var Control
• Remote Metering
• Automatic Load Shedding
• Load Management
• Automated Mapping and Facilities Management (AM/FM)
• Trouble Call Management System (TCMS)
• Load Survey and Energy Accounting
Network Reconfiguration - Fault Localization
• Locates faulty section in a radial distribution feeder by
operating “Load Break Switches” on a feeder
• Localization is faster compared to manual determination of
faulty section
Fault Illustration:

Fault localization Fault
CB Close
LB Sw Close
Network Reconfiguration - Service Restoration
• Restores service to non-faulty feeder sections by reconfiguration
• Considerations
* Presence of alternate paths
* Operation of LB switches
* Need to have remotely controllable switches
* Restoration based on
- satisfaction of current and voltage constraints
- minimum switches
- minimum losses
Network Reconfiguration - Load Balancing
• Composition and hence consumption patterns of loads on
different feeders are different
• To distribute loads among transformers/feeders
• Remote control of switches for reconfiguration
Load Balancing - Illustration

Feeder 2
Initial
configuration
Final
configuration
Integrated Volt-Var Control
• Applied on feeders with capacitors and voltage regulators
• Control of capacitor banks and voltage regulators
• Schedule for switching and tap control
• To meet reactive power requirements and reduce losses
Remote Metering
• Uses of electro-static meters
• Customer meter reading
• Facilitates Multiple tariff
• Detection of Meter tampering
• More justifiable at HT (high value) Customers
Automatic Load Shedding
• Under Frequency based load shedding
• Sensing Frequency through transducers
• Load shedding based on the frequency drop, current loading
conditions and priority of the load
• Closed loop function at RTU level
(6 to 7)
(7 to 8)
(8 to 9)
(9 to 10)
Schedules for Power
cut on Feeders
Illustration
Load Management - Scheduled power cuts
• Gap between generation and demand
• Schedule power cuts on rotation
• Automatic load shedding based on schedules
• Facility to change the schedules
Load Management - Emergency based load shedding
• Gap between power generation and load demand due to
sudden contingencies
• To shed the loads based on the relief required
• Identification of loads to be shed based on
- current load magnitudes
- priority of the load
- time when last shed
• Shed the load based on the above factors
Load Management - Agricultural load control
• Importance of Agricultural load
• Separate schedule for Agricultural loads
• Ag. Loads categorized into groups
• Schedule for each group
• Shed the load based on the schedule
• Use of one-way radio switch
- Accepts a command to shed
- Restores automatically
Automated Mapping and Facilities Management (AM/FM)
• Display of geographical Maps
• Dynamic info on Maps
• Layering, Zooming, Scrolling and Panning
• Historical data on Devices
(From T&D World, Oct 2001)
(From T&D World, Oct 2001)
Trouble Call Management System (TCMS)
• Responds to customer complaints
• Acceptance of interruption/restoration data from the operator
• Distribution Transformer trip/close info from SCADA
• Determination of source of interruption
• Improvement of response time to customer complaints
Load Survey and Energy Accounting
• Availability of continuous data on loads etc.,
• Determination of Load Patterns
• Data for planning
• Detection of abnormal energy consumption pattern
• Identification of high loss areas
