Implementation of an automatic FLIR-scheme in a 20-kV distribution grid

Major power system disturbances and outages have a significant economic and social impact, and the security of supply is becoming a more and more important issue. Hence, outage times should be as short as possible. Smart grid technologies such as self-healing networks can help in reducing the outage times after a disturbance. In this presentation, the principles and implementation of a self-healing grid based on the decentralized concept for cable networks is discussed. Both technical and organizational issues are addressed.
