Abstract

Advanced Distribution Managements Systems (ADMS) that employ the Smart Grids technology need to perform an essential task called self-healing function. A self-healing grid can detect and identify faults, overload or equipment outage; diagnose and isolate faulty network component; and automatically restore the service to consumers using healthy sections of network. This paper presents a conceptual approach to the concept, and a modular, scalable control architecture for a self- healing solution in a smart distribution system. To illustrate the proposed architecture, we report the experience with developing and implementing a centralized self-healing system in a regional distribution utility in Brazil, called ENERGISA MS.The self-healing is performed on a network with 293 reclosers, installed along 82 overhead feeders connected to nine substations with 357 MW peak load, supplying energy to 300,000 consumers.
