Development of Advanced Distribution Automation System with Failure Cause Estimation Function

Abstract

We are planning to develop the new Advanced Distribution Automation System (ADAS) equipped with optical communication network and sectionalizer with sensor for more grid reliability and efficiency on maintenance operation. The new system is featured with the function of fault cause or damaged part estimation. The new sectionalizer captures the waveform of electrical line surge originated by fault and the system analizes the waveform for this function. This paper mainly introduces the system configuration of ADAS and fault cause estimation technology.
