[row_fluid] [two_third] In contrast to the large number of buses and loads in a distribution network, a very limited number of measurements are available. In practice, measurements are only available at distribution substations, transformers and some important loads. The small number of direct measurements is generally insufficient to make the system observable and hence obtaining…

[row_fluid] [two_third] The continuous increase in the share of renewable energy sources (RES) and the advances in power electronics, sensing and communications are causing a drastic redefinition of electrical networks. The current model is based on centralised generation and a passive power distribution/transmission network. In the near future, the generation will consist in smaller generation…

[row_fluid] [two_third] The project aims to propose fault detection and isolation methods for RES (mostly wind plants and solar plants) connected to grids (through AC or DC links). As these sources will be more and more involved in the grid power balance, it will be mandatory to detect as soon as possible any fault that…

[row_fluid] [two_third] The worldwide increased electricity production from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is coupled with the growing installation of distributed generation (DG) connected to medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) distribution networks. For Distribution System Operators (DSOs), the operation of these networks may be a difficult task due the following causes: the point of…
