1. Automatic load service restoration aided by NR using MGs becomes an important capability gained by the smart grid: e.g.,
• Self-healing strategies enabling the black-start of micro- turbines within MGs [20]
• Self-healing control actions considering power loss, self-adequacy, and supplied load energy [21]
• An optimal method dividing on-outage network areas into multiple MGs to minimize the operating costs of DERs [22]
2. Research Gap: No Dynamic/Real-Time Analysis of Dynamic Network Reconfiguration
• Optimization algorithms have been adopted to 1) determine one snapshot of the distribution
network topology or 2) change the topologies based on hourly variations in load demand.
• Dynamic effects of line fault, CB operation, and DG interconnection on distribution network
operation (e.g., real-time frequency and voltage regulation in microgrids) were NOT
considered in the previous studies.
• DGs have been modeled as point sources (i.e., PQ/PV nodes) without consideration of
dynamic characteristics of synchronous, induction, or inverter-interfaced machines;
consequently, DG feedback controllers and the connection between DGs and grid-level
controllers were not investigated in the previous NR studies.

Dynamic NR using Synchronous-Machine-Based DGs

Main Conditions on Self-Healing, Reconfigurable Distribution System
1. The locations of SSWs and DGs are determined in a scheduling time horizon.
2. Reclosers or fuses are used to disconnect faulted (de-energized) lines from the feeders.
3. Backup DGs, initially used for critical loads within a building, have operated under
normal grid conditions while exporting excess power to other loads on the same or
different feeders [24], [25].
4. The voltage and current sensors on both sides of the SSWs transfer control and
measurement signals to grid management systems (i.e., ADMS, MEMS, and DERMS)
December 2008 12
Dynamic NR using Synchronous-Machine-Based DGs
5. ADMS (or DERMS) activates/deactivates the MEMS, and determines the MG boundaries
based on the fault locations.
6. DERMS locally monitors and controls the P and Q of the DG, and transfers the
measurement data to the MEMS and, further, to the ADMS.
The ADMS or MEMS can directly monitor and control the P/Q outputs of individual DGs
or indirectly through DERMS.
7. In coordination with the DERMS, the MEMS regulates the MG frequency and voltage,
and sends shedding signals to aggregators of non-critical loads.

3. MG voltage regulation of synchronous-machine DGs
: The voltage regulation in a small-area MG can be sufficiently achieved via the output
voltage control of the DGs
: In the case of a wide-area MG, the coordination of DGs with voltage regulating devices
(e.g., shunt capacitors or static synchronous compensators) will be required to support
the feeder voltages such that the DG reactive power control can satisfy

Implementation of Dynamic Reconfigurable Network 6. Changes in the boundaries of MGs and corresponding DG operation
December 2008 19
a. At Snapshot #2 (Steps 1 and 2) - Small tie-line power flow between interconnected MGs : In case where each unit MG has at least one DG in charge of secondary frequency regulation,
the tie-line power flow between interconnected MGs becomes small at the instant when the main
power-supply resource is disconnected.
b. At Snapshot #3 (Step 3) - Control of tie-line power flow between MGs 3 and 4 : For the intentional islanding of MGs 2 and 4, an additional feedback loop has been integrated into
the DG output control.
: MEMS 2 controls the power flow between two MGs to zero, in order to mitigate the impact of the
islanding on the DG operations.

3. Test Scenario for Case Studies
• (t < t1) The test grid operated under the normal condition; i.e., all the SSWs and DCBs
were closed and, for simplicity, all the DG power outputs PDG were maintained at 0.43 pu.
• (t = t1) A fault occurred on the distribution line between Nodes 29 and 30.
The SSWs1, 3, 5, 7 and DCB7 then opened, and the feedback controllers of the DGs were
activated for the real-time frequency and voltage regulation in the MGs.
• (t1 < t < t3) The MG including the DGs3, 4 (or, equivalently, the MG2 in the Snapshot #2)
was selected for the restoration, and divided into two networks by opening the SSW4
at t = t2.
• (t3 ≤ t < t4) The load service restoration was initiated by reclosing the SSW3 and the DCB7
at t = t3.
December 2008 23
Simulation Studies of Dynamic Reconfigurable Network
• (t = t4) Another fault occurred on the line between Nodes 9 and 12, resulting in the
opening of the SSW2 and DCB2.
• (t4 < t < t5) For the fault, the MG including the DG1 was the only one available for the
load restoration, and it was the smallest network (i.e., no SSWs within the MG).
• (t5 ≤ t) The DCB2 and SSW2 were closed to restore the de-energized loads. The MEMSs
of the islanded MGs waited for the resynchronization call while monitoring the power
flowing through the SSWs.

Performance – “REQUEST” Conversation ID – ”RESTORE” Content – “local name, load to restore”
1. Initiates the process of restoration, sends message to the MEMS and asks to supply power.
Power From DGs
Performance – “ACCEPT/DECLINE” Conversation ID – ”RESTORE” Content – “…”
Performance – “REQUEST” Conversation ID – ”RESTORE” Content – “local name, remaining load to restore, priority” Receiver – “DG Application”
1. Send message to the DG application and asks for remaining power to be restored

Conventional Service Restoration in Distribution Grids

and Restoration
However, the conventional OMS has the following limitations:
• Most distribution circuit faults are cleared by non-communicating fuses.
• System operators need additional information on
1. the status of distribution network, including the network damage and the number and locations of de-energized customers
2. the estimated restoration times that would be valuable to customers
(average restoration time in a distribution grid: 2.28 hours [2])
• Large possibility of human errors in the process of manual fault clearing

Technology Development for Dynamic Reconfiguration of Distribution Network

2. Application of Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS)
• Enabling the real-time reconfiguration of distribution networks, considering
1. Dynamic response characteristics of DGs that are equipped with centralized/decentralized frequency and voltage controllers;
2. Communication with PMUs or sensors (e.g., time delay, measurement errors);
3. Controllable demand response (DR) resources (e.g., batteries, HVAC systems).
3. Example: Schneider Electric’s Distribution Automation
• Improved the quality of service and network reliability
1. Reduction of the outage time (50%) and areas affected by network faults
2. Reduced costs for network investment, operation, and maintenance
• Easier implementation than usual SCADA projects
1. Scalability: 10 times faster than traditional SCADA
2. Monitoring system with high-speed data transfer between substations to clients

1. Simple approach to identify fault location using the remote V/I sensors of the SSWs
: To address the practical difficulties in adopting the method of the Jacobian matrix
because of random load demand variation and unknown line impedance
: Once the load service restoration is completed, technicians can be dispatched to find
exact fault locations in the conventional way.
[Combination 1] The V/I sensors of adjacent SSW pairs looking in the same directions
[Combination 2] The V/I sensors of adjacent SSW pairs looking in the opposite directions
