Electric Power: Distribution Emergency Operation

Provides the fundamentals of distribution emergency operation using graph-theoretic approach and exploration of subsystem(s) that address the operational aspects of fault occurrence to determine the possible feeder reconfiguration. Topics include: (1) Data extraction from geographic information systems (GIS), (2) Graph modeling of distribution feeders, (3) Programming for backward/forward sweeping unbalanced power flow, (4) Short circuit analysis and fault localization, (5) Fault isolation and service restoration, (6) Outage management and crew coordination, (7) Trouble call tickets and escalation to search for fault, and (8) Emerging topics of distribution management systems (DMS).
