Self-Healing Control Technology for Distribution Networks

This book systematically introduces self-healing control theory for distribution networks, rigorously supported by simulations and applications. It first discusses the functions of a smart grid before explaining how self-healing control theory can be developed and applied. Readers are brought through the related topics of self-healing control system infrastructure, advanced application software, new generation protective relay, monitoring/management systems, implementation issues, and pilot projects. The main purpose of this book is to provide researchers, engineers, and graduate students with a comprehensive understanding of self-healing control technologies as applied to a city grid and how to monitor system performance. A comprehensive introduction to self-healing control for distribution networks Details the construction of self-healing control systems with simulations and applications Provides key principles for new generation protective relay and network protection Demonstrates how to monitor and manage system performance Highlights practical implementation of self-healing control technologies, backed up by rigorous research data and simulations Self-healing Control Technology for Distribution Networks is an essential reference text for researchers and engineers in the field of distributed system engineering, smart grids, and electrical engineering.
