Advanced development and design of multiphase radial distribution system workstation for performing load flow analysis under normal and abnormal conditions [articol]

Abstract

It is understandable that carrying out research work in power system is feasible only with the simulation software as setting up the power system laboratory turn out to be difficult while considering its economical and technical aspects. It creates complexity in understanding power system concepts due to lack of hands on experimentation. This problem has been identified as noteworthy and formulated as the main objective in this work. The focus of this research work is to design and develop a multi phase radial distribution system workstation. This workstation has been equipped with the hardware and software in order to carry out the various distribution system analyses under normal and abnormal conditions, and also under different load conditions. Special attention has been rewarded for development of software package for monitoring and control. The developed software package features Graphical User Interface (GUI) support and compatible with web browsers. It facilitates and encourages the researchers to contribute their research work in the distribution system analyses. Most prominently, it provides a wide opening to the researchers in distribution system optimization and fault analysis. This paper details the set up/hardware equipments of the proposed workstation and its simulation package.
