On-line automatic switching of consumers' connections for improved performance of a distribution feeder

Abstract

Resolving imbalances on phases is performed using conventional trial and error approach which involves service interruption. Phase current and voltage may improve however the resultant effect does not last for too long. To improve the performance of the secondary distribution system there is a need for an on-line and automating technology. The aim of this paper is to pioneer a method and technology for resolving imbalances in a secondary distribution system as a result of the uneven distribution of single phase load across a three phase power system. The technology developed involves monitoring, acquisition/display of collected data and self changing switching actions electronically for rearrangement or transfer of consumer loads. The proposed switching technology is based on opentransition switch that enables transfer or rearrangement of consumer loads in a three-phase system within milliseconds with supervisory control system. Validation of the proposed technology was carried out using these methodologies: Matlab (Simulink), Virtual Instrumentation-Lab VIEW and Hardware implementation.
