Types Of Faults

Voltage sag caused by the faults in the power system has serious power quality issues and sometimes leads to interruption of power supply. The characteristics of voltage sag are its magnitude, time and phase angle jump (PAJ). This paper represents the estimation of phase angle jump (PAJ) when different types of faults are occurred in distribution system. Since the unbalancing is one of the major issues in distribution system that increases the zero sequence currents, over heats the distribution transformer, causes huge voltage drops in distributor etc. Therefore, the method used in this paper shows the PAJ when distributor is unbalance due to uneven loading or the line parameters of the distributor are unsymmetrical. Simple radial system is used to analyze the PAJ caused by the different types of faults and unbalancing. Different comparisons are made that are associated with PAJ such as PAJ vs fault impedance, zero sequence current and percentage of voltage unbalance. The research work is performed on MATLAB/SIMULINK to analyze the real time results.

Simulation Results

A distribution system is one of the most important parts of power systems which show a connection between power plants and loads. Each connection has an economic affection in transferring power from sources to loads. Power companies expect to find out an optimal configuration with great benefits which is the lowest power loss. This paper proposes an application of a genetic algorithm for finding out an optimal configuration which has the lowest power loss with constrains such as: unisolated loads, limited powers in lines and transformers and lowest voltage drops. The effectiveness of the proposal is confirmed through simulation results on power systems [3] as well as comparisons with other results of [1], [3], [6], [8]
