Full textRecently, due to concerns about the liberalization of electricity supply, deregulation and global impact on the environment, securing a reliable power supply has become an important social need worldwide To ensure this need is fulfilled, detailed investigations and developments are In progress on power distribution systems protection and the monitoring of apparatus which Is part of the thesis. The main objective of a protection schemes is mainly to keep the power system stable by isolating only the affected components or the section of the electricity network in which the fault has developed while allowing the rest of the network to continue operating. It is important to note that the protection equipment does not prevent faults from occurring, but it limits the damaging effect of the fault and protects other healthy equipment. This is only achieved if the protection system of the electrical network involved complies with the requirements and purpose of the electrical protection standards. These requirements include the Operational speed, Reliability, Security and Sensitivity. In conventional substations that are still existing Within the utilities networks, a number of long cables are then used to complete the links between substation equipment in order for them to communicate (hardwired). This method is uneconomical and is being phased out completely in the near future. Over the last few years a new standard for substation automation communication has been developed Within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the IEC 61850. This standard defines the integration requirements of multi-vendor compliant relays and other lED's for multiple protection schemes as well as control and automation techniques. In this particular thesis, Distribution protection is the area of interest, particularly the application of Time and Overcurrent protection schemes. A look into different protection alternatives and the application of new technologies for Electrical Power Distribution Systems that unify protection and control units so that they can be incorporated into Intelligent Substation as opposed to the most existing (conventional substation) is analyzed. The proposed algorithm has been verified through simulations of the CPUT and Eureka three phase power distribution systems. A testing Lab is also part of this thesis and Is meant for experiments as well as simulation performance in order to gain knowledge and skills for designing and engineer substations with lEG 61850 standards equiprnents. The results indicate that the reduction of copper wiring cable has increased and the communication speed has improved and simplified.

Full textDistributed Generation systems based on renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar are mostly intermittent sources, due to their dependency on the weather, whereas those based on other primary energy sources are non-intermittent. All of them are specially designed to be integrated into distribution systems, in order to improve the power demand of consumers. In the last few decades of the twentieth century, several different factors have played a key role in increasing interest in systems. Distributed Generation (DG) is gaining more and more attention worldwide as an alternative to large-scale central generating stations. The aim of this research project is to investigate the contribution of distributed generation in fault current level in a power distribution system. The simulation results indicate that DG can have a positive or negative impact, on the fault current level in distribution network systems. The DG location and size affect the fault level. The second aim of this research was to suggest a model-based method for design, and implementation of a protection scheme for power distribution systems, by establish algorithms in a hardware environment. The overcurrent relay was chosen for the model development because it is considered a simple and popular protection scheme, and it is a common scheme in relaying applications. The proposed relay model was tested for fault conditions applied on a simple power system in different scenarios. The overcurrent relay model was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, by using MATLAB programming languages and the SimPowerSystem (SPS) Tool. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is applicable to the modelling of generation, transmission, distribution and industrial grids, and the analysis of the interactions of these grids. This software provides a library of standard electrical components or models such as transformers, machines, and transmission lines. Therefore, the modelling and simulations are executed using MATLAB/Simulink version 2014b

Full textThanks to cost reductions and improvement of information and communication technologies, future distribution networks will probably have advanced communication infrastructures and more measurement devices installed in order to manage the increasing complexity of those networks, which is primarily caused by the introduction of distributed generation at the distribution level.
Therefore this thesis investigates how the monitoring, protection and fault location functions can be improved by using system-wide measurements, i.e. real-time measurements such as synchronized voltage and current measurements recorded at different network locations. Distributed synchronized measurements bring new perspectives for these three functions: protection and fault location are usually performed with local measurements only and synchronized measurements are not common in monitoring applications. For instance, by measuring distributed generators infeed together with some feeder measurements, the protection is expected to be more sensitive and selective and the fault location to be more accurate.
The main contribution of this work is the use of state estimation, which is normally only used for network monitoring, for the protection and the fault location.
The distribution system state estimation is first developed using the classical transmission system approach. The impact of the placement of the measurement devices and of a relatively low measurement redundancy on the accuracy, on the bad data detection and on the topology error identification capabilities of the estimator are discussed and illustrated. This results in recommendations on the placement of the meters.
Then, a backup protection algorithm using system-wide measurements is presented. The coherence of the measurements and the healthy network model are checked thanks to a linear three-phase state estimation. If the model does not fit to the measurements and if the estimated load is too high or unbalanced, a fault is detected. The advantages of the method are that the voltage measurement redundancy is considered, improving the detection sensitivity, and that load models may be considered in the algorithm, avoiding the need to install measurement devices on every line of the network.
Finally, two new impedance-based fault location algorithms using distributed voltage and current recordings are proposed. By defining statistical errors on the measurements and the network parameters, a method to compute a confidence interval of the fault distance estimate is proposed. The fault location accuracy and its sensitivity to the fault conditions (e.g. fault resistance or fault type) and to the different sources of error are assessed on a simulated distribution system.

Full textElectric power systems are being operated closer to their designed stability limits due to the constraints caused by the continuous increase in system loading, and the lack of new power stations and transmission network infrastructure to support this increase in system loading. This coupled with the practice of long distance bulk power transmission and cascading contingencies, makes system instability and consequently blackouts inevitable. In such scenarios, system instabilities like voltage instability becomes a serious threat to the secure operation of the power system, and voltage collapse (system-wide blackouts) are prone to occur. This is often compounded by the unavailability of real-time system measurements for situational awareness from the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)/Energy Management System (EMS) platforms which are usually based on unsynchronized SCADA measurements with a slow reporting rate of 1 measurement every 2-10 seconds. This Doctoral thesis proposes non-iterative algorithms and methods of solution based on the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) with a high reporting rate of up to 200 measurements every second (200 fps) for voltage stability assessment and automated wide area Centralised Protection/Control (CPC) against catastrophic voltage instabilities/blackouts in power systems. Extended formulations are proposed for the Optimal Placement of PMUs (OPP) in power systems with respect to voltage stability assessment. The impact of zero injection buses, critical buses, and PMU redundancy is considered in the formulation of the OPP problem solution. The extended formulations made use of Binary Integer programming (BIP) and Modal Participation Factors (MPFs) derived from the eigenvalues of the power flow Jacobian.

With widespread integration of inverter-based distributed energy resources (DERs) in the distribution grid, the conventional protection and control schemes no longer hold valid. The necessity of an adaptive protection scheme increases as the DER penetration in the system increases. Apart from this, changes in system topology and variability in DER generation, also change the fault current availability in the system in real-time. Hence, the protection schemes should be able to adapt to these variations and modify their settings for proper selectivity and sensitivity towards faults in the system, especially in systems with high penetration of DERs. These protection schemes need to be modified in order to properly identify and isolate faults in the network as well as correctly identify Loss of Mains (LOM) or islanding phenomenon. Special attention is needed to plan the next course of action after the islanding occurrence. Additionally, the protective devices in distribution system should be utilized to their maximum capability to create an adaptive and smart protection system. This document elaborately explains the research work pertaining to these areas.

Full textBusbars are the most important components in the distribution networks. Faults on the busbar are uncommon, however an occurrence of a busbar fault can lead to a major loss of power. Busbars are the areas in a substation where the levels of current are high and therefore the protective relay application is very critical. In order for the protection scheme to be successful it is important to carry out the following specifications: Selectivity, Stability, Sensitivity, and Speed. To meet all of the above requirements protection must be reliable, meaning that the protection scheme must trip when called up to do so (dependability) and it must not trip when it’s not supposed to (security). The thesis focuses on the reverse blocking busbar protection scheme with aim to improve the speed of its operation and at the same time to increase operational reliability, flexibility and stability of the protection during external and internal faults by implementation of the extended functionality provided by the IEC61850 standard-based protective IEDs. The practical implementation of the scheme by the use of IEC 61850 standard communication protocol is investigated. The research analyzes in detail the reverse blocking busbar protection scheme that is used at the moment in the power systems and it develops an improved IEC 61850 based reverse blocking busbar protection scheme for a distribution network. The proposed scheme is designed for a radial type of a distribution network and is modeled and simulated in the DigSILENT software environment for various faults on the busbar and its outgoing feeders. The results from the simulations are used further for implementation of the designed protection scheme. A laboratory test bench is build using three compliant with the IEC 61850 standard ABB IEDs 670 series, CMC 356 Omicron test injection device, PC, MOXA switch, and a DC power supplier. Two ways of the reverse blocking signals between the IEDs implementation are considered: hard wired and Ethernet communication by using IEC 61850 standard GOOSE messages. Comparative experimental study of the operational trip response speed of the two implementation shows that the performance of the protection scheme for the case of Ethernet communication is better The thesis findings and deliverables will be used for postgraduate studies of other students, research, short courses, and solution of industrial problems.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to carry out a technical and economic feasibility assessment of the updating of the Distribution Protection system, comparing the use of digital relays, to which new functions have been integrated, with electromechanical and static relays. Information hereby presented shows that digital relays are significantly cost-effective in terms of acquisition and implementation for developing application projects and in maintaining that equipment after it has been set up in the field. Electromechanical relays have been largely used in protection schemes for large-scale industrial and residential consumers, as well as in security schemes for power plant companies. Because of the large number of moving parts and frequent readjustments required by that type of equipment, many manhours must be put in by calibration and maintenance staff employed by power plant companies. Carrying out a Protection Study that establishes parameters for those relays is often unfeasible given the sensitivity and coordination of the protections, in that the equipment in question has limited adjustments, both in terms of pick-up currents values and of the selection of time curve vs. current used in the protection timer, in the case of overcurrent electromechanical relays. During the last years, with the rise of industrial evolution, microelectronics and software development, digital relays are replacing electromechanical and static relays in electrical security systems used by industrial and power plant company protection, both in new facilities and in refurbished facilities. A study was carried out on the history of protection relays showing how they developed from the older, electromechanical type after the static relays, which evolved form the former, and was concluded with the study of digital relay models. Digital relays provide significant advantages compared to electromechanical and static relays, which will be covered under specific revision items of the references provided herein. The study is concluded by assessing case studies that were accounted for and assessed, such as supply rates, installation costs of digital relays to replace electromechanical and static systems used traditionally to provide protection for COPEL´s (Power Company of the State of Paraná) Substations. The purpose was to collect and analyze, over a 12-month period, the actual advantages and disadvantages of using that type of equipment in electrical systems that provide circuit protection for power distribution.

Full textThis work presents an evaluation of surges in low-voltage overhead distribution lines caused by direct lightning strikes in medium voltage lines. Some publications concerning the phenomenon are commented and several other studies used during the process of modeling of the components are also analysed. The main components of the distribution system were modeled and included. So, a typical distribution network topology (with the primary and secondary lines) was represented including its components: distribution transformer, insulators, surge arresters, loads and ground resistances. The performance of the developed models, whenever possible, was verified by laboratory tests. Some possibilities of the secondary protection were included. Parameters having major effect on the results, such as the lightning current amplitude and front time, the values of grounding resistances, the models of the loads and the lightning strike position were taken into consideration in the study. The results were obtained by simulations performed using the ATP (Alternative Transients Program). Waveforms are presented in order to provide information on the characteristics of the overvoltages in the consumers along the line. Currents, as well as energy absorbed by the low-voltage surge arresters are aldo presented and discussed, providing useful information about the performance of some protection alternatives.

Full textFor improving the energy quality it is essential to understand the phenomena related to the lightning discharges. In the case of distribution networks with rated voltages lesser than 69 kV, there is a significant number of interruptions caused by overvoltages induced by lightning discharges near to the lines. The aim of this work was to develop and to implement a system to study lightning induced voltages on distribution lines through simultaneous acquisition of induced voltages waveforms on two lines with different configurations. Besides the lines, equipped with voltage dividers specially designed to measure impulsive voltages, also belong to the system a metallic tower built in the vicinity of the lines, the measuring system installed at its base to register lightning currents that eventually hit it and the computer programme that manages the acquisition and data storage process. The methodology adopted in the study is pioneer concerning natural lightning, since records of voltages induced simultaneously on unprotected and protected distribution lines by the same lightning event were obtained only in a previous research developed by the High Voltage / Lightning Research Group (GATDA/USP), by means of a scale model. The present study represents an extension of that research, so that the same methodology previously developed has been transferred to a real scale system. The system started to operate in the end of February 2002 and several induced voltages waveforms have been registered, confirming its satisfactory performance. This Dissertation describes the system and its main components and shows some of the preliminary results obtained so far.

As redes atuais de distribuição são cada vez mais exigidas quanto a sua confiabilidade, as concessionárias precisam atender os critérios dos indicadores de qualidade individual. Para alcançar melhor a eficiência da rede aplica-se a ela os conceitos de coordenação e seletividade. Buscando este conceito o presente trabalho apresenta um método para determinação de fusíveis e religadores aplicados na rede de distribuição de forma a garantir sua capacidade de coordenação e seletividade. Através do estudo dos elementos de proteção e do conhecimento das características da rede, e de como devem ser estes elementos dimensionados a ponto de serem seletivos e coordenados apresenta-se uma metodologia para, por meio do uso de grafos determinar o valor de fusíveis e religadores em uma rede de distribuição. Ao final a metodologia possibilita a execução de manobras de rede e avalia se a coordenação e seletividade dos elementos ainda é válida. Para a aplicação deste método, a rede IEEE de 34 barras é adaptada adicionando fusíveis e religador para permitir validar o conceito aqui apresentado.

For the application of this method, the IEEE network of 34 bars is adapted by adding fuses and automatic circuit recloser to allow validating the concept presented here

Resumo: Geradores síncronos conectados em redes de distribuição de energia elétrica estão sujeitos a operarem de forma ilhada após a ocorrência de distúrbios na rede elétrica. Ilhamento ocorre quando uma parte da rede de distribuição torna-se eletricamente isolada da fonte de energia principal (subestação), mas continua a ser energizada por geradores distribuídos conectados no subsistema isolado. A prática atualmente utilizada pelas concessionárias e recomendada nos principais guias técnicos é desconectar todos os geradores tão logo ocorra um ilhamento. Tipicamente, é necessário detectar uma situação de ilhamento em menos de dois segundos, dependendo, principalmente, do tempo de operação dos religadores automáticos. Os métodos mais comuns e baratos para detectar ilhamento compreendem relés baseados em medidas de freqüência (sub/sobrefrequência, taxa de variação de frequência e "salto de vetor") e o relé de tensão. No entanto, esses relés podem falhar se os níveis de desbalanço de potência ativa e reativa no subsistema ilhado forem pequenos. Portanto, o objetivo dessa dissertação é investigar a potencialidade de novos sinais para detectar ilhamento de geradores síncronos distribuídos, como forma de substituição ou complementação aos dispositivos de proteção anti-ilhamento convencionais. Os sinais analisados neste trabalho são taxa de variação da potência ativa (dP/dt), a relação Volts por Hertz (V/Hz), a variação da impedância (Z) medida no ponto de acoplamento comum (PAC), e a diferença angular ('delta' 'teta') entre as tensões medidas no PAC e na subestação. A investigação é baseada no levantamento de um conjunto de curvas relacionando tempo de detecção e desbalanço de potência ativa/reativa e nas zonas de não detecção, as quais fornecem os pontos de operação para os quais o relé em estudo falha na detecção do ilhamento. As curvas e as zonas são obtidas através de simulações de transitórios eletromagnéticos trifásicas considerando diferentes perfis de carga-geração na rede ilhada. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os sinais analisados têm um grande potencial para esse tipo de aplicação, porém são sujeitos à atuação indevida no caso da ocorrência de eventos que não sejam ilhamentos na rede de distribuição. Assim, uma análise de falsa operação também é conduzida e são propostas melhorias para minimizar e/ou eliminar a atuação indevida desses relés aqui investigados
Abstract: Synchronous generators connected to distribution power networks are likely to operate islanded following faults clearance in the system. Islanding occurs when a portion of the distribution system becomes electrically isolated from the substation, yet it continues energized by distributed generators connected to the islanded system. Utilities and standards recommend the disconnection of distributed generators immediately after islanding occurrences, otherwise it can lead to a number of problems to the generator and the connected loads. Typically, it is required to detect an islanding situation faster than two seconds after the island formation, depending, mainly, on the operation time of automatic reclosers. The most common and economical methods to detect islanding include the relays based on measures of frequency (under/over frequency, rate of change of frequency and vector surge) and voltage. However, these relays can fail if the active and reactive power imbalance levels in the islanded system are small. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to investigate the potentiality of new signals to detect islanding of distributed synchronous generators, as replacement or complement to conventional protection anti-islanding devices. The signals analyzed in this research are the rate of change of generator active power (dP/dt), the ratio Volts per Hertz (V/Hz), impedance variation (Z) measured at the point of common coupling (PCC), and the angular difference ('delta' 'teta') between the voltage angle measured at the PCC and at the utility substation. The investigation is based on a set of curves, which relate time of islanding detection and active/reactive power imbalance and on the nondetection zones, which provide the operating points for which the relay fails to detect the islanding. These are obtained through electromagnetic transient three-phase simulations considering different profiles of generation-load in the islanded network. The results show that the signals analyzed have a huge potential for this type of application, however, their performance can decrease in case of occurrence of non-islanding events in the distribution system. Thereby, an analysis of false operation is conducted in order to propose improvements to minimize and/or to eliminate improper behavior of these relays

Full textThis work presents a study of impedance characteristics, over a wide range of frequencies, of residential low-voltage installations and electric-electronic appliances, commonly found in residential installations. The measured frequency responses are fitted and modeled by simple, but effective, RLC networks, that can be used in any software for transient simulations. The range of frequencies, up to 5 MHz, allows the use of these models considering lightning or switching studies. It is of importance to point the lack of publications focusing this topic, because usually the low-voltage installations, or connected equipment, are represented by simple lumped components inductances, resistances or capacitances. Otherwise, it is well known that the overvoltage level of a system, or installation, is strongly dependent on the connected loads and for more precise models, better and more reliable simulation results are obtained. This work includes ATP software simulations using the developed models for evaluation of surges in a typical distribution network subjected to direct lightning strikes at the primary circuit. Furthermore, simulations of internal response of a low-voltage installation with connected equipment and subjected to lightning surges in its entrance is performed using the Pspice software. The work summarizes practical and useful information about the low-voltage surge studies on low-voltage systems.

Under-ground systems are associated to high reliability, with low interruption rates due to its con-struction characteristics, which avoid the fault occurrence from climatic, mechanics or human interference. However, the underground cables damages are typically permanent, requesting the damaged line section substitution before system restoration. Fault location on overhead systems can be assisted by visual inspection, on underground system, this approach can not used. Although the primary feeder protection scheme's digitalization process has stimulated the development of several fault location schemes for overhead feeders, typical underground's system characteristics were not considered. In these systems, the application of the techniques used on overhead systems results in erroneous fault distance estimates. The proposed methodology aims to overcome this limitation of traditional fault location algorithms, adapting it to the typical underground systems characteristics. The proposed formulation is based on the apparent impedance calculation, and can be included as a sub-routine in digital protection relays. Besides the fault distance estimates, the fault diagnosis scheme also calculates the fault resistances associated to each disturbance. The fault location scheme uses as input data the voltage's and current's signals before and during the fault, and also proposes a capacitive current compensation. The fault location technique also proposes the usage of equivalent radial systems, calculated through three-phase load flow techniques, to allow the algorithm coverage on laterals and sub-laterals. Due to the random load profile of distribution systems, the technique develops a load profile analysis during the pre-fault period. In order to provide efficiency analysis of the proposed formulation, comparative testes with a recently proposed fault location technique was realized. To validate the proposed fault location algorithm, several fault simulations were executed using real underground feeder data. The proposed fault location scheme performance was evaluated considering the following aspects: fault resistance, fault distance and inception fault angle. Also, the methodology was analyzed considering different load profiles, including unbalanced loads and load variation. The obtained results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed formulation for fault location in underground distribution systems.

Resumo: O uso de geradores conectados via inversores em redes de distribuição de energia elétrica tem aumentado consideravelmente nos últimos anos em razão dos avanços obtidos nas tecnologias de células a combustível e fotovoltaicas bem como de microturbinas e turbinas eólicas. Nesse contexto, a utilização de sistemas de proteção antiilhamento no ponto de conexão do gerador com a rede elétrica é uma das exigências previstas nos principais guias técnicos empregados pelas concessionárias. Ilhamento ocorre quando uma parte da rede de distribuição torna-se eletricamente isolada da fonte de energia principal (subestação), mas continua a ser energizada por geradores distribuídos conectados no subsistema isolado. No caso particular dos geradores conectados via inversores, os principais dispositivos utilizados comercialmente para fornecer proteção antiilhamento são baseados no conceito de realimentação positiva, cuja idéia básica é empregar um dos parâmetros que definem a tensão terminal do gerador como sinal de realimentação positiva no seu sistema controle. Caso o gerador esteja conectado ao sistema de distribuição, a realimentação positiva não consegue, a priori, desestabilizar o gerador. Por outro lado, caso o gerador torne-se ilhado, a realimentação positiva fará com que o gerador se torne instável e, por conseguinte, a situação de ilhamento pode ser rapidamente detectada por relés de sub/sobre tensão e/ou sub/sob freqüência. Visto que tal esquema de proteção esforça-se para desestabilizar o gerador independentemente da ocorrência ou não de ilhamentos, é fundamental desenvolver ferramentas para analisar a estabilidade de redes com múltiplos geradores equipados com proteção antiilhamento via realimentação positiva. O objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado foi desenvolver uma série de modelos linearizados no espaço de estados para representar os principais dispositivos de proteção antiilhamento existentes comercialmente a fim de investigar a estabilidade frente a pequenas perturbações de sistemas de distribuição de energia elétrica com múltiplos geradores conectados via inversores utilizando-se análise modal
Abstract: The usage of inverter-based generators connected directly to electric Power distribution systems has considerably increased in recent years due to the technological advances of fuel and photovoltaic cells as well as microturbines and wind turbines. In this context, the usage of anti-islanding protection devices at the interconnection point is required by the main technical guides utilized by the utilities. Islanding occurs when a portion of the distribution system becomes electrically isolated from the remainder of the power system, yet continues to be energized by distributed generators. In the case of inverter-based generators, the main devices commercially employed to supply anti-islanding protection are based on the positive feedback concept. These methods use the deviations of voltage frequency and/or magnitude from normal values as positive feedback signals into the control system to influence the operation of inverterbased distributed generators. If the generator is connected to a strong utility system, in priori, the destabilizing force of the positive feedback has a negligible impact and the generator can operate without difficulties. On the other hand, when the generator is islanded, the positive feedback can destabilize the generator easily. Such distinctively different generator behaviors facilitate the detection of islanding conditions by using under/over voltage and frequency relays. Since the positive feedback scheme is a destabilizing force, the impact of this scheme on the stability of system with multiples inverter-based generators is of concern. If the positive feedback gain is too high, the generator may become unstable even if it is connected to the main supply system. Thus, the objective of this master thesis is to develop several small-signal models to investigate the stability of distribution network with multiple inverter-based generators with positive feedback anti-islanding protection by using modal analysis

Full textUninterrupted power delivery is a permanent goal of power utilities. One way of attaining this objective is constantly investing in technological solutions to improve the performance of distribution networks. With increasing loads, mainly electronic ones, as well as growing insertion of automatic reclosers, the protection philosophy of distribution systems has to be rethought taking into account temporary and permanent interruptions. In this work, we propose a strategy to minimize the cost of interruptions taking into account the load characteristics and the time required to restart the load. This is achieved by deriving a mixed integer nonlinear programming model. The proposed model uses binary variables to define if the instantaneous characteristic of the recloser should be enabled and a classical explicit mathematical optimization approach. The algorithms were developed with Matlab software and the conversion was made to a General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS). The applicability of the proposed methodology is tested in an actual feeder from Porto Alegre.

Full textDistributed Generation is an expression used to designate the electric generation source in places near or contiguous to consumers, regardless of the power, technology or energy source used. Studies show that, by the year 2010, 20% of the total amount of generation (worldwide) will be acquired this way. The advantages of distributed generation, over central generation, are obvious and include: lower investment needed for transmission, reduction of losses and better performance regarding stability in the electric energy service. Examples of distributed generation include: small hydro electrics, wind turbines, thermals, photovoltaics and emergency generators. These examples are small in size and are interconnected to the electric system. Hydraulic power, which is available through exploration in the country, could comprise about 4% of the total power to be generated (which is a verysignificant portion) in small hydro electrics. According to ELETROBRÁS´ Plan 2,015, a power station that reaches up to 30 MW of installed power represents a potential of 9,456 MW. ANEEL´ information about Generation shows that there are about 254 PCH in operation in the country, which total 1,327 MW (1.4% of the total), 40 enterprises under construction (500 MW) and 211 approved projects (construction has not yet begun) that, when finished, will add 3,426 MW to the electric system. Substantial public investments have not been directed toward the larger enterprises since the re-arrangement of the national energy center. Thus, small and medium sized waterfalls represent a very interesting generation option. The small hydro electrics (PCH) appear as a possible choice, as mentioned before. They offer advantages, such as affordable cost, a short implementation time required, return of investment, support through legislation, the willingness of the electric power utilities to buy the exceeded energy generated by selfproducers and, finally, the possibility of access to its distribution and transmission lines through long distances. The connection of new points of energy generation in the Distribution system was made possible with the support from the Federal Government, through encouragement for PCH constructions and tax discounts for use of the transmission and distribution systems. We plan on locating the new points of generation next to the points of potential consumers with the objective of decreasing energy transportation costs. Thus, as the network guarantees the regulation of frequency and the permanent absorption of the total power, groups are equipped with generators that do not require a sophisticated command control. There is, however, the possibility of building interconnections, which must be studied even when related to the small potency network. The advantage lies in the facts that asynchronous generators can be used - which are cheaper and stronger. The effects of generation on distribution systems will depend on size, type and location where the generation will be installed. The protection of the utilities distribution network should be assigned a higher priority. Instead, we prioritize the benefits of energy production, such as the backup energy, voltage sags, top-notch energy, among others. This is unfortunate, since the protection of the utilities distribution network will avoid the degradation of the energy quality, of reliability and of operations. From the moment that these PCH are installed on the Distribution networks, a radial system is turned into a ring system with more than one source of short-circuit current contribution. Thus, the guidelines for this work are the approach to topics related to problems with the lack of coordination and sensibility of protection equipment, re-connection blockage, necessity of protection of overcurrent with directional function, coordination with consumers and extension lines (causing security problems with people and equipment) and energy continuity. It is of great importance to perform systematic studies on the protection of networks with the simultaneous generation of PCH since they are essential for the security and improvement of the current levels of continuity of service. Finally, the impacts on the distribution system protection of networks with connections to Small Hydroelectric Centrals are described and analyzed in detail, followed by proposals of solutions for the reduction of such impacts.

Resumo: Uma das principais funções dos sistemas de proteção de geradores distribuídos conectados em redes de subtransmissão ou de distribuição de energia elétrica é desconectá-los tão logo uma situação de ilhamento seja detectada. O ilhamento ocorre quando parte da rede elétrica é desconectada do restante do sistema da concessionária, mas continua a ser energizada por um ou mais geradores distribuídos conectados a ela, formando um subsistema isolado da concessionária. Esta ocorrência deve ser evitada porque coloca em risco a segurança de pessoas e equipamentos e pode deteriorar a qualidade da energia suprida aos consumidores locais. Neste contexto, esta tese de doutorado propõe novas metodologias para avaliar de forma sistemática e ajustar alguns dos principais relés de proteção anti-ilhamento de geradores síncronos. As técnicas analisadas compreendem os relés de deslocamento de fase ou ¿salto de vetor¿, relés de taxa de variação de freqüência, relés de sub/sobrefreqüência convencionais e os relés de sub/sobretensão convencionais. A aplicação das metodologias desenvolvidas mostrou que elas são ferramentas eficientes para avaliar e determinar o desempenho desses relés quanto à detecção de ilhamentos, auxiliando na seleção dos esquemas de proteção e ajustes mais adequados
Abstract: One of the main functions of distributed generators¿ protection systems is the capability to disconnect the generators immediately after an islanding occurrence is detected. Islanding occurs when a portion of the distribution system is disconnected from the utility grid, yet remains energized by one or more distributed generators connected to it. This operating condition should be avoided because it poses safety risks to utility personnel and equipments as well as it can cause power quality problems to the local costumers. In this context, this thesis proposes new methodologies to systematically evaluate and adjust some anti-islanding techniques applied to synchronous generators. The techniques analyzed are the under/over frequency relays, the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) relays, the vector surge or vector jump relays and the under/overvoltage relays. The results have shown that the proposed methodologies can be efficient tools to evaluate and to determine the performance of these anti-islanding relays, consequently, they can help protection engineers to select the most proper protection devices and their settings

Full textUnintentional islands might appear when a subpart of the grid is disconnected from the power system and keeps working because of local generation. These events are unwanted: their behavior is not controlled and leads to potential risks for people and for electric equipment. Unintentional islanding is a complex phenomenon and badly understood. Nowadays it is considered to be rare, but a priori its occurrence probability is currently steadily increasing. This rising is the consequence of several phenomena: firstly, the development of distributed generation of small and average size directly connected to the distribution grid; secondly, the enlargement of frequency thresholds used by isolating protections; and thirdly, the implementation of power regulations of active and reactive power in the generation unit. Within this context, the Smart Grid chair of Enedis financed this PhD thesis in order to better characterize these islanding phenomena and to improve their detection.To achieve these targets, a first priority of the PhD was to improve the comprehension of unintentional islanding through symbolic calculation. This approach makes it possible to solve a simple model and to explain the evolution of the frequency during an island. These results are completed with several laboratory experiments and by numeric simulations. Models are designed based on a thorough bibliography, in particular for load modeling.A second priority of the PhD was to estimate the efficiency of anti-islanding protections through the computation of non-detection zone (NDZ). The impact of several loads on the NDZ is analyzed to improve the understanding of unintentional islanding, which is a complex phenomenon. The efficiency of new anti-islanding protections using thresholds on the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) is also thoroughly evaluated. It is shown that the computation method used by the protection plays a key role. At last, the calculation methods of the NDZ is improved regarding previous methods. Among other things, it allows to radically change the estimations of the impact of new power regulations P(f) and Q(U)

Functional differences in structure choices in the world are then analysed, their consequences in thesizing of equipments is underlined. Then the equilibrium between voltage levels is questioned,as the effect of territorial features on the grid.

Resumo: Geradores síncronos conectados em redes de distribuição de energia elétrica estão sujeitos a operarem de forma ilhada após contingências como, por exemplo, curtos-circuitos. Ilhamento ocorre quando uma parte da rede de distribuição opera eletricamente isolada da subestação da concessionária, mas continua a ser energizada por geradores distribuídos. Devido a um conjunto de implicações técnicas e de segurança, a prática atualmente utilizada pelas concessionárias e recomendada pelos principais guias técnicos é desconectar todos os geradores da rede isolada tão logo ocorra um ilhamento. Existem diversas técnicas de proteção desenvolvidas para detectar ilhamentos e a maioria delas possui limitações técnicas e são propensas a falharem em determinadas situações. Neste contexto, torna-se importante conhecer a probabilidade ou risco da proteção falhar na detecção de ilhamentos em sistemas de distribuição de energia elétrica com geradores distribuídos e, por conseguinte, decidir se o sistema de proteção utilizado é adequado ou não. A falha da detecção de uma situação de ilhamento é tecnicamente denominada ilhamento não intencional. Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta uma série de metodologias desenvolvidas para analisar o risco da ocorrência de ilhamentos não intencionais devido à falha do sistema de proteção de geradores síncronos. O sistema de proteção antiilhamento considerado neste trabalho é composto por relés baseados em medidas de freqüência e/ou tensão visto que atualmente estes são considerados os dispositivos mais eficientes para realizar tal tarefa. Como os desempenhos desses relés estão fortemente relacionados aos desbalanços de potência ativa e reativa na rede ilhada, respectivamente, as metodologias desenvolvidas baseiam-se nas curvas de carga do sistema de distribuição, nos patamares de geração de potência ativa e reativa e no cálculo de um índice numérico que indica o risco de falha da proteção antiilhamento. Diversos métodos eficientes foram desenvolvidos para calcular diretamente este índice de risco sem a necessidade de executar numerosas simulações de transitórios eletromagnéticos. Ressalta-se que os principais fatores que afetam o desempenho do sistema de proteção antiilhamento podem ser prontamente determinados com a aplicação das metodologias desenvolvidas. Os resultados obtidos mostraram-se precisos quando comparados aos obtidos por meio de repetidas simulações do tipo de transitórios eletromagnéticos
Abstract: Distributed synchronous generators connected to distribution power systems are prone to operate islanded after contingencies such as short circuits. Islanding occurs when a portion of the distribution network operates electrically isolated from the utility grid substation, yet continues to be energized by local distributed generators connected to the isolated system. Due to a number of technical and safety concerns, the procedure currently adopted by utilities and recommended by the main technical guides is to disconnect all the generators immediately after an islanding event. There are several anti-islanding techniques and the majority of them present technical limitations so that they are likely to fail in certain situations. In this context, it becomes important to know the probability or the risk of the protection scheme to fail in the detection of islanding events in distribution power systems containing distributed generators and, ultimately, determine whether the protection scheme under study is adequate or not. The failure of islanding detection is technically denominated non intentional islanding. This work presents a number of methodologies developed to evaluate the risk of occurrence of non intentional islanding due to the failure of synchronous generators protection systems. The anti-islanding protection system considered in this work is composed of relays based on measures of frequency and/or voltage, since these are considered to be the most efficient methods to perform this task. As the performance of these relays is strongly dependent on the active and reactive power imbalances in the islanded system, respectively, the methodologies are based on the distribution network feeder load curves, the active and reactive power generation levels and on the calculation of numerical index to quantify the risk level of protection system failure. Efficient methods were developed to directly calculate these risk indexes without performing several electromagnetic transient simulations. Through these methods, the main factors impacting on the performance of the antiislanding protection schemes can be determined. The results obtained by the usage of the proposed methodologies presented a very good match with those obtained by electromagnetic transient simulations

Full textThe connection of distributed generators in an electric power system should be evaluated carefully to ensure that they effectively assist in improving the performance of electrical networks, reducing or eliminating any situations that cause degradation of the power quality of the consumers, and other issues. In this context, there are several studies that analyze the influence of generators connected to distribution systems and how they affect the frequency, cause variations in voltage magnitude, voltage unbalance and harmonic distortion. However, there are a few studies analyzing the effects that the disconnection of distributed generators induces to the power quality of consumers. Once operating in parallel with the distribution network, these generators have an effect on voltage variations and voltage regulator devices. As a result, disconnection can cause severe voltage variations causing damage or malfunction to the loads. The disconnection may be sudden or due to the action of anti-islanding protection, followed by the procedure to reconnect the substation, if it is possible. In order to study this problem, which tends to become a new power quality concern for electric utilities, and in order to minimize and / or eliminate the possible side effects of the voltage variations, this research proposes the development of a control method of voltage regulators\' taps. In this method, the control of taps was modeled as an optimization problem which aimed to minimize these voltage variations aforementioned and also the amount of voltage regulator operations over a typical day. The optimization was solved by a Genetic Algorithm and the results obtained demonstrate that it is possible to minimize the voltage variation by using the system load curve to plan the operation of voltage regulators.

Full textWith the aim of guiding and speeding up the search of a short circuits place in primary networks of energy distribution this research proposes a methodology for locating higher probability areas of fault, making use of Heuristic variables. The Heuristic methodology is applied in problems that involve variables with uncertainties, which can be evaluated with empirical tools and specialists experience. Among the influential variables in the short circuit calculation, as most relevant were considered: the faults resistance, the pre fault tension, the equivalent system impedance upstream of the substation and the electrical grid impedance. The proposed methodology relies on the knowledge of currents and tensions oscillografed in the substation bus in consequence of a short circuit and, in another way on the pre calculation of heuristic short circuit currents along the grid. In the research scope field tests were performed with the aim of collecting the fault resistance heuristic variable, resumed in this text and documented on the CD-ROM attached. A software that allowed the actual implementation of this researchs purpose in various feeders of a distributor has been developed, with results that confirmed the efficiency of this methodology.

A operação de parte da rede de distribuição de forma ilhada alimentada por geradores distribuídos aumenta os índices de confiabilidade do sistema, caso de problemas com a conexão com a rede principal reduz o tempo de indisponibilidade do fornecimento de energia elétrica para um conjunto de cargas. Os geradores síncronos distribuídos por apresentarem regulador de velocidade e controle de excitação podem mais facilmente operar no modo ilhado. Um dos grandes desafios da operação ilhada, no entanto, é a redução drástica dos níveis de curto-circuito quando a rede passa a operar de forma ilhada, comprometendo as funções de proteção dos relés de sobrecorrente. Com isso, para a operação de forma segura de uma rede ilhada é necessário alterar o ajuste da proteção dos relés de sobrecorrente. Os relés digitais apresentam a possibilidade de armazenar dois ou mais ajustes distintos de proteção, e a seleção do ajuste a ser usado pode ser realizada via um sinal externo. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar um método capaz de identificar o estado de conexão da rede com a subestação principal e, em caso de alteração deste estado, enviar um sinal para o relé de proteção para a seleção do ajuste adequado. O método proposto não depende de comunicação e baseia-se em um dispositivo simples composto basicamente por um tiristor, que pode ser instalado próximo ao relé. O dispositivo foi modelado no MatLab e utilizado em simulações computacionais de uma rede de distribuição para validar a metodologia proposta. A rede de distribuição simulada possui capacidade de operar de forma ilhada alimentada por dois geradores síncronos distribuídos. O método proposto apresentou bom desempenho e foi capaz de identificar a condição de operação do sistema e selecionar o ajuste da proteção de forma adequada.
The capacity of part of the system to keep an autonomous operation supplied by distributed generators improves the network reliability indices, since, in case of the loss of the connection with the utility grid, it reduces the frequency and duration of interruptions for the customers. Considering that distributed synchronous generators usually have excitation system and speed regulator, they can easily control the voltage and frequency of the system and operate in the islanded mode. However, one of the challenges of islanded operation is the drastically decrease of fault current level when the system is operating in the islanded mode compared to the main system connected condition. So, to ensure a safe grid operation the overcurrent protection settings should be changed. The microprocessor-based overcurrent relay have more than one setting group and thus have the possibility to change the tripping characteristics during the operation as a function of an input signal. In this context, the objective of this thesis is to present a method capable of identifying the grid state and send a signal to the overcurrent relay in order to change the overcurrent settings. The proposed method doesn¿t depend on the communication systems for the relays, and it is based on a simple device composed by one tyristor, which can be installed next to the relay. The device was modeled in MatLab and used in computational simulations considering a typical distribution system to validate the proposed method. The distribution grid used has the capacity of operating in islanded mode or connected to the utility grid mode. The proposed method has presented a good performance and it was able to identify the operation condition in order to select the suited protection setting.

Resumo: Em redes de distribuição, ilhamento ocorre quando parte da rede elétrica é desconectada do restante do sistema da concessionária, mas continua a ser energizada por um ou mais geradores distribuídos conectados a ela. Esta ocorrência deve ser evitada porque coloca em risco a segurança de pessoas e equipamentos. Diversos trabalhos têm sido desenvolvidos na análise do comportamento ilhado e da proteção antiilhamento de geradores síncronos e de geradores não-rotativos conectados via conversores eletrônicos. No entanto, pouca atenção tem sido dada aos casos envolvendo geradores de indução, sejam eles geradores duplamente alimentados ou com rotor tipo gaiola de esquilo. Portanto, o objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é investigar o comportamento destes geradores durante ilhamentos, bem como analisar a eficiência dos relés baseados em medidas de freqüência e tensão para a realização de proteção antiilhamento. A ferramenta empregada para análise da proteção antiilhamento é a zona de não-detecção, a qual é definida como a região no espaço de desbalanço de potência reativa versus desbalanço de potência ativa em que o sistema de proteção antiilhamento não consegue detectar a situação de ilhamento dentro do tempo especificado. Tais zonas foram obtidas através de numerosas simulações de transitórios eletromagnéticos utilizando o programa PSCAD/EMTDC
Abstract: In distribution systems, islanding occurs when part of the electric system is disconnected from the remaining utility system, but continues to be fed by one or more distributed generators operating in the island. This occurrence should be avoided as it represents a safety risk to equipment and customers. There have been several research papers which analyze the islanding behavior and the anti-islanding protection of synchronous generators and non-rotating generators connected to the grid using electronic converters. Nonetheless, little attention has been spent to analyze the situations involving induction generators, either doubly-fed generators or squirrel-cage generators. Therefore, the objective of this dissertation is to investigate the behavior of these generators during islanded operation, as well as analyze the efficiency of anti-islanding protection schemes based on frequency and voltage relays. The analysis is conducted by using the non-detection zone, which is defined in the active versus reactive power imbalance space where the anti-islanding protection fails. These zones were determined by numerous electromagnetic transient simulations by using the software PSCAD/EMTDC

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento de alternativas para detecção de faltas de alta impedância (HIFs) sustentadas em sistemas de distribuição. Como a maioria destas faltas é monofásica, enfoque foi dado para este tipo de falta no desenvolvimento do trabalho. Devido ao desequilíbrio e a variação da carga dos sistemas de distribuição, a proteção tradicional dos mesmos apresenta dificuldades na detecção destas faltas, que acabam se sustentando no sistema. Isso acarreta um risco de segurança pública, na medida em que estruturas externas ao sistema elétrico são mantidas energizadas representando risco a vidas que entrem em contato com elas. Características da topologia típica de sistemas de distribuição brasileiros (conhecida como do “tipo europeu”) foram exploradas de forma a se elaborar duas propostas de métodos de detecção e localização de HIFs. Ambos os métodos se baseiam na alocação de medidores alocados ao longo do sistema de distribuição, cujas medidas são integradas a uma central de dados via rede de comunicação. Nesta central, as medidas recebidas são analisadas de forma a diagnosticar a presença e localização de faltas monofásicas de alta impedância no sistema e emitir alarmes que descrevam a situação atual do mesmo. O primeiro método, o PDSZ, baseia-se em medições fasoriais sincronizadas e, além da detecção e localização, conta com um algoritmo de classificação das fases envolvidas na falta. Já o segundo (PQDSZ) baseia-se em medições não fasoriais e não possui esta última funcionalidade. Ambos os métodos são implementados em laboratório e simulados com o uso de um Simulador Digital de Tempo Real (RTDS), o que permite uma validação bem próxima da aplicação dos métodos em um sistema real. Tais simulações comprovam a aplicabilidade dos métodos propostos e todos os resultados são analisados de forma a confirmar este fato.
This work aims to develop alternatives for the detection of sustained high impedance faults (HIFs) on distribution power systems. As the majority of these faults are single phase ones, the development was focused on this kind of fault. Due to load unbalance and variation of the distribution systems, the traditional protectiontechniques presents problems on detecting these faults, which are kept sustained on the system. This situation represents a serious public hazard, because the external electrical system structure remains energized, representing a risk to lives that eventually get in touch with it. There is also the risk of starting a fire from this fault point. Topologycal features of Brasilian distribution systems (known as “european type”) were exploited in order to elaborate two methods for detection and localization of HIFs. Both methods are based on the use of meters alocated along the distribution system, whose measurements are sent to a central data concentrator, through a network communication. Then, the received measurements are analysed in order to diagnose the ocurrence of single phase high impedance faults on the system and send alarms that describe the current system situation. The first method, named PDSZ, is based on Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and besides detecting and locating the fault, can also classify it, showing which phaseis involved. The second one, the PQDSZ, is based on non-synchronized measurements and can not classify the fault. Both methods were implemented on laboratory and tested using real equipament and a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS), which allows a very precise evaluation of the proposed methods, emulating conditions very similar the real ones. The simulations prove the aplicability of the proposed methods and the results are analysed in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Full textOne of the main goals of the electric utilities is to provide energy to its customers in a reliable and low cost way. Traditionally, the electricity sector regulatory commissions impose continuity targets, which must be carried out, to avoid great penalties. For many years, the electric utilities have adopted the practice of allowing the increment of temporary interruptions, aiming the reduction of permanent interruptions in energy supply, through coordinated protection schemes. However, due to the increase growing in electronic loads, and the existence of complex power-driven industrial processes, there is a less tolerance in short duration interruptions events. Therefore, the reliability must be characterized as widely way, considering the occurrence of such disturbances. The definition of protection devices types, and its arrangement in the feeder, enables the restriction of faults propagation, reducing the number of consumers subject to interruptions in energy supply. Similarly, the allocation of switching devices in an optimized way, provides a reduction of the interruptions duration, allowing the isolation of portions of the network subject to failure, the reconfiguration of the feeder and restoration of the supply to the consumer, in permanent interruptions cases. Targeting these factors, in this work are proposed two methods to optimize the reliability of electrical distribution systems. The optimization with a single objective is based on optimized allocation of protective and switching devices in the feeder, aiming the minimization of the reliability indices that considers the occurrence of permanent interruptions in energy supply. It is possible the choice of different indices, considering parameters such as load, number of consumers, and energy costs related to the occurrence of interruptions. The protection scheme, in this case is pre-defined (coordinated or selective), and applied to all reclosers allocated in the process of optimization, as well as the breaker of the substation. The second methodology - called double objective - is based on simultaneous minimization of reliability index that take into account the occurrence of permanent interruptions, and the indicator MAIFIE (Momentary Average Interruption Event Frequency Index), which considers the incidence of events that cause temporary interruptions in energy supply. Thus, besides the allocation of protection and switching devices, the optimization consists in definition of the protection scheme to be employed in reclosers and circuit breaker at the substation. Both formulations result in models of nonlinear programming with discontinuous and non-differentiable objective functions, subject to non-linear restrictions. These restrictions reflect in economic and technical limitations, such as coordination and selectivity between the protective devices, topology of the feeder, maximum number of devices available for allocation, and others. In order to find the best solution of the problem with single objective, a Simple Genetic Algorithm is proposed. A conjunct of best solutions of the dual objective problem was accomplished by using Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm. Among these, the most appropriate solution is selected through the use of Fuzzy Inference System. The performance of the algorithms and the quality of the solutions were verified by submitting a real 421 bus distribution system in the process of optimization. The results are commented and compared with the commonly practices used by electric companies.
Uma das principais metas das empresas concessionárias é fornecer energia a seus clientes de forma confiável e com baixo custo. Tradicionalmente, órgãos reguladores do setor elétrico estabelecem metas de continuidade, que devem ser satisfeitas sob pena da aplicação de vultosas multas. Durante muitos anos, as concessionárias têm adotado a prática de permitir o incremento das interrupções temporárias, visando à diminuição na ocorrência das interrupções permanentes no fornecimento de energia, pelo emprego do esquema de proteção coordenado. Entretanto, com o crescente aumento das cargas eletrônicas, e a existência de processos industriais automatizados cada vez mais complexos, existe uma menor tolerância à ocorrência de interrupções de curta duração. Logo, a confiabilidade deve ser caracterizada de forma mais ampla, considerando a ocorrência deste tipo de distúrbio. A definição dos tipos de dispositivos de proteção, e a disposição dos mesmos em locais específicos do alimentador, possibilitam restringir a propagação de faltas, reduzindo o número de consumidores submetidos a interrupções no fornecimento de energia. De forma semelhante, a alocação de chaves de manobras de maneira otimizada provê meios de reduzir a duração das interrupções, possibilitando a isolação de trechos da rede sob condição de falta, a reconfiguração do alimentador e o restabelecimento do fornecimento à parte dos consumidores, caso ocorram interrupções permanentes. Visando estes fatores, neste trabalho são propostas duas metodologias de otimização da confiabilidade de sistemas elétricos de distribuição. A otimização com objetivo único consiste na alocação de dispositivos de proteção e manobras no alimentador, visando à minimização de indicadores de confiabilidade que consideram a ocorrência de interrupções permanentes no fornecimento de energia. É possível a escolha de diferentes indicadores, considerando parâmetros como: carga, número de consumidores, energia e custos relacionados à ocorrência de interrupções. O esquema de proteção, neste caso é pré-definido (coordenado ou seletivo), sendo aplicado a todos os religadores alocados no processo de otimização, inclusive ao disjuntor da subestação. A segunda metodologia denominada duplo objetivo consiste na minimização simultânea de um indicador de confiabilidade que considera a ocorrência de interrupções permanentes, e do indicador MAIFIE (Momentary Average Interruption Event Frequency Index), que considera a ocorrência de eventos causadores de interrupções temporárias no fornecimento de energia. Desta forma, além da alocação dos dispositivos de proteção e manobras, o processo de otimização visa definir o esquema de proteção a ser empregado nos religadores, bem como no disjuntor da subestação. Ambas as formulações resultam em modelos de programação não-lineares, com funções objetivo descontínuas e não diferenciáveis, sujeitas a restrições não-lineares. Estas restrições refletem limitações técnicas e econômicas, tais como coordenação e seletividade entre os dispositivos de proteção, topologia do alimentador, número máximo de dispositivos disponíveis para alocação, entre outras. Na busca da melhor solução do problema com objetivo único é empregado o Algoritmo Genético Simples. Um conjunto de soluções ótimas do problema duplo objetivo é obtido utilizando o Algoritmo Genético Multiobjetivo. Dentre estas, a solução mais adequada é selecionada por meio de um Sistema de Inferência Nebulosa. O desempenho dos algoritmos e a qualidade das soluções foram verificados submetendo um sistema de distribuição real de 421 barras ao processo de otimização. Por fim, os resultados são comentados e comparados com as práticas mais utilizadas pelas concessionárias.

Full textThe interaction between the European Union law and the private international law is particularly acute in the field of internationally mandatory rules, maintaining and renewing the debate which always accompanied this kind of norms. If the internationally mandatory rules occupy a special place in the European legislation, being an extremely effective tool of European policy, some difficulties arise as to the articulation, in the Member States’ legal systems, of the both national and European different sources of lois de police. The transfer of powers from Member States to the European Union, the harmonization of national legislations and the greater weight given to European reasoning and interests at the time of qualification highlight a new dimension of the internationally mandatory rules concept. Also the implementation of internationally mandatory rules is highly influenced by the European Union Law. The Member States’ obligations concerning the completing of the internal market and the removal of restrictions to changes involve a significant disturbance to this traditional PIL mechanism; a decrease in the effectiveness of internationally mandatory rules in relations between Member States may be observed. The purpose of establishing an area of freedom, security and justice within the European Union was materialized in the establishment of European private international law rules in various fields; the internationally mandatory rules method is transformed as a result of the European legislator direct intervention on his definition and regime, but also as a result of the evolution that affects other concurring private international law methods
