Comparison study of fault location on distribution network using PSCAD and DIgSILENT power factory by using matching approaches

Abstract

This paper presents the comparative study between PSCAD and DIgSILENT in order to detect fault location on underground distribution network. If a fault occurs in the distribution network, it will generate the voltage dips and over current. It is possible to record the signal output in the primary substation. However, for the research purpose, some of the researcher may use different simulation program. The simulation program may have different performance to generate voltage and current signal when fault simulated. So, it is important to observe the performance of each simulation software. Due to every simulation software may have different advantages, this paper will observe the accuracy of fault distance calculation based on simulation data on the distribution model and when all types of fault are applied to the different simulation program, namely PSCAD and DIgSilent. The matching approach was adopted to calculate the fault distance. To observe the performance of the simulation program, the distance error calculation for every type of fault are compared. By using a matching approach, the PSCAD simulation program produces more accurate fault distance compare with DIgSILENT. However, it may contribute different result if different method and tested network applied.

Rolling stand electric drive model regarding influence of power supply network parameters

“…A technological process distinctive feature of modern hot-rolled metal production is its characteristic of being energy-intensive production which is accompanied by voltage dips resulting from powerful shock loads when the strip enters the stand. The issues of power quality indicators as well as voltage dips in the power supply network of metallurgical enterprises were being worked at by such scientific researches as [28]- [37]. The authors named above take up the factors that affecting the electricity quality both in a modern industrial enterprise conditions and within metallurgical production.…”

Wide area monitoring system control management of the IEEE-14 bus system using least square support vector regression

“…Figures 5, 6, and 7 depict the MSE of PMU placement. The MSE is calculated as (11). The objective of LS-SVR in this study is to determine the accuracy of PMU placement based on MSE.…”

“…Based on this research, the result shows that this paper was obtained the acceptable accuracy. By using matching approach, Awalin et al [11] was compare the accuracy by using different simulation tools namely, digilent and power system computer aided design (PSCAD) simulation program. From this study it is found that digsilent has a higher level of accuracy compared to PSCAD if the location of the disturbance using a matching approach.…”

Wind turbine doubly-fed induction generator defects diagnosis under voltage dips

“…Emphasis is on detecting, identifying voltage dips [6], [7], and developing strategies for advanced control with protection systems of the wind turbine conversion chain, in order to satisfy the constraint of remaining connected during a voltage dip [3], [8]. Several [6], [9], [10]. However some methods allow only some voltage dips classification [6].…”
