Protection, Fault Location and Isolation in Smart Grids

Most importantly though, I would like to thank my parents for sacrificing so much for many years to provide me with all the necessary tools to advance in life. Finally, following

The most promising types of switches are insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT), thyristors and gate turn-off thyristors (GTO) [129], [142]. The power electronic components

The potential benefits of load shedding on peak reduction have been investigated with two aspects: the winter peak shaving for a MV/LV substation, and the response of a substation to

In power systems, accurate time synchronization of measurements taken at remote locations is now also possible and will probably be widely used in future distribution networks,

The approach to evaluate the vulnerability of the smart grid CI with interdependencies between power and communication networks introduced in Section III, is exemplified with

To avoid higher protection operating times, some distribution network operators adjust the relay settings, namely the pick-up current, to account for the DG

This enables to consider dynamic changes, (e.g., in the physical grid topology but also in the measured values like consumption data. Figure 2 shows an overview of our approach. In
