Enhanced Microgrid Functions for Topology Reconfiguration and Fault Restoration
Xiancheng Wang, In-Ho Ra · 2020
The power systems are deeply reforming to meet future power demands. With the continuous emergence of new technologies, the novel power system represented by microgrid has received more attention, and the research on the integration of emerging technologies of microgrid has become more focused. In this paper, a microgrid communication framework based on 5G technology is proposed, which makes full use of the low communication delay of 5G technology and the computation capacity of cloud/edge computing to implement the reconfiguration of microgrid deployed with DG(s). Lastly, we estimate the computing power of the cloud servers to predict the loads, and preprocess the restoration Optimal Configuration Table (OCT) scheme for instant fault restoration in the microgrid.
