Distributed Control in Electric Power Delivery Systems

摘要

This disclosure includes various systems and methods for determining an operating stage based on electrical conditions in electric power delivery systems and identifying a control strategy based upon the operating stage. The control strategy may be selected and customized to avoid or to ameliorate stresses in an electric power delivery system while maintaining the stability of electric power delivery systems. Various embodiments consistent with the present disclosure may include a distributed controller configured receive a plurality of indications of electrical conditions from a plurality of control devices in electrical communication with the electrical power delivery system. The distributed controller may determine an operating stage from among a plurality of operating stages based upon the plurality of indications of electrical conditions. The distributed controller may further identify a control strategy based upon the operating stage. The control strategy may be communicated to and implemented by the plurality of control devices.

主权项

1. A relay configured for use in an electric power delivery system, the relay comprising:
a communications interface; a processor communicatively coupled to the communications interface; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, enable the relay to:
receive a plurality of electrical characteristics relating to electrical conditions in at least a portion of the electric power delivery system;assess the plurality of electrical characteristics;identify a determined condition based upon the plurality of electrical characteristics, the determined condition comprising one of an impending overload condition, a crossed overload condition, and an electrical fault condition;communicate the determined condition to a distributed controller via the communications interface.
