STEADY STATE SECURITY ASSESSMENT OF DISTRIBUTION NETWORK WITH DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

📄 Project Abstract

Security assessment is defined as the real time analysis procedures by which the security of a power system is measured or assessed [1]. On the other hand, power system security is the ability of the system to withstand major disturbances [1],[2]. Power systems originally existed as small, individual, self-sufficient units where the power production and consumption balanced out. In the event of a severe failure, a system collapse was unavoidable and meant a total blackout and interruption of supply to customers. But the restoration of the whole system and synchronization of its generators were relatively easy due to its small size. Recently, owing to the deregulation of the power industry, technological advances and the consequent competitive power market, network complexity and size have changed tremendously. The deregulated electric power utilities are being restructured and operated as distinct generation, transmission and distribution companies and the responsibility of maintaining...
