Abstract:
Single-wire earth-return (SWER) systems are low capital and maintenance cost distribution systems, which have been chosen and widely built in many rural parts of the world. While low load density is main cause of over voltage phenomenon, voltage drop problems caused by continuously increasing electricity consumption is more common and requires urgent attention in order to enhance system capacity and reliability of aging SWER systems. This paper will investigate potential alternatives for given problem, include conventional solution such as capacitor bank compensation. Case studies on the Wambo Creek SWER system are used to assess the impacts of integration of renewable or distributed generation against other mitigations and the issues are discussed.

Abstract:
Indonesia's rural electrification rate (RER) is still low. This is due to the high cost of installing a conventional three-phase or single-phase power supply in distributed rural loads. However, the Rural Energy Agency and the National Utility have made many efforts to address this issue. To this end, this document proposes a Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) electrification scheme for the electrification of a selected village, namely Serang, Banten. Field data were collected and used to design a potential SWER distribution network. A mathematical model representing SWER for Serang, Banten was developed and simulations were performed to determine soil potential and soil resistance. These two are important every time you install a HEAVY line. In addition, a technical and economic comparison was made in order to determine the short-term costs of the proposed SWER with the existing single-phase two-wire (SPTW) system. The technical and economic analysis shows that the proposed SWER system will achieve a cost saving of 50% compared to the installation of the SPTW system for Serang Banten electrification.

Abstract:
<span>Traditionally, three-phase networks are used to transmit electric power to consumers. However, due to its high initial cost, many isolated rural communities are yet to have access to electricity. Thus, the single wire earth return (SWER) architecture, which uses the earth as the return path, attracts significant cost savings. In this paper, the potential application of the SWER system for rural electrification in Nigeria was presented. The cost-effectiveness of the SWER system which is about 70% less than the three-phase configuration, is due to the need for fewer cables, pole-top fittings, switching, and protection devices. Initially, the dynamic modeling of the equivalent SWER system was derived for the MATLAB simulation analysis. The pertinent parameters of the realized system, namely, micro-former leakage reactance, the resistive and inductive value of the single-phase network, were determined and employed for the SIMULINK and the repetitive power flow analyses. The results obtained from the power flow analysis and the simulation models for different loading conditions were found to agree with an error margin of +5%. This demonstrates that the proposed prototype can be adopted to reduce the prevalent energy poverty and thereby improved the quality of life of rural dwellers in Nigeria.</span>

Abstract:
Rural electrification rate (RER) in Africa is still low to date. Several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have tried to address this problem using conventional single- phase two-wire or three-phase three-wire systems, however at large costs due to the nature of dispersed rural load centres, low load demand, and low population density. Another solution of off-grid generation creates associated health problems. Therefore, this paper undertakes a review of a single wire earth return (SWER) network as a RER improvement solution. The paper undertakes intensive literature review to elucidate challenges and solutions to the implementation of SWER technology. Advantages of SWER technology discussed make it the choice for RER improvement in Sub-Saharan African countries. After that, a case study is selected in rural Tanzania, and a preliminary SWER network design is undertaken.

Abstract:
The high cost of grid extension to rural areas, often characterized by scattered communities with low load densities, requires the use of low cost electrification technologies to ensure economic viability. In Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) power distribution networks, the earth itself forms the current return path of the single phase system leading to significant cost savings on conductors, poles and poletop hardware compared to conventional systems. However, challenges exist in SWER with regard to earthing and safety as well as the dependence on earth conductivity to supply consumer loads. This work presents models for the optimal planning of SWER distribution networks. The earth return path is modeled as a conductor based on the Carson line model taking into consideration specific ground properties of the considered location. A load flow algorithm for radial SWER networks is subsequently formulated whereby both overhead line and ground voltages and currents are determined. First, heuristic planning models are developed based on the SWER load flow model. The objective of the heuristic models is to determine the optimum feeder configuration and overhead conductor subject to SWER load flow constraints and load growth over several time periods. Whereas the resulting solutions are good, they may not necessarily be globally optimum. Optimization models are then developed using mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) with the aim of obtaining global solutions to the SWER network planning problem. Since the MINLP formulations are limited to the accurate analysis of limited size networks, considerations and approximations for the analysis of larger networks are presented. The developed models are applied to a case study in Uganda to test their practical application. In addition, comparative studies are done to determine how the proposed optimization models compare with previous distribution planning models. The numerical analysis includes the impact of deterministic distributed generation on the SWER planning problem. Results showed consistent performance of the proposed heuristic and optimization models, which also compared well with conventional models. The optimization models gave more cost-effective solutions to the SWER planning problem than the heuristic models. However, the former models had higher computational cost than the latter. The inclusion of distributed generation allowed for cheaper network solutions to be obtained. The models are applicable to the planning of Single Wire Earth Return networks for isolated mini-grids, grid-extension to previously un-electrified rural areas as well as the upgrade of SWER feeders in existing installations.

Abstract:
Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) electric distribution feeders are used extensively in remote parts of Queensland and other states, as an economic means to deliver electrical energy to small customer loads, scattered sparsely over vast areas. These SWER systems are normally supplied from very long three-phase distribution feeders. Due to recent strong load growth, voltage quality issues have arisen in these systems. The main SWER feeder problem is poor voltage regulation caused by increasing loads. Three-phase feeder problems include voltage unbalance and phase angle unbalance caused by increasing loads and uneven load distribution. High system network losses are also experienced, as a result of increasing loads. There are several available methods to combat these issues, however, most have not been applied to rural distribution previously. Developing simple, economic solutions to these problems is likely to dramatically improve customer power quality, resulting in reduced customer complaints, whilst improving distribution capacity and reducing losses. The emphasis of this research project is the power system modelling required to develop detailed equipment models that can be used to assess potential solutions identified in the literature. Ergon Energy Corporation in Central Queensland is supporting the project with field data and other information. This thesis has developed detailed models to study voltage regulation of SWER feeders and capacity enhancement of three-phase feeders.
