Electric Power System Blackout Prevention using Automatic System Separation

Mohamed Ali Ali Othman Elmeadawy;

Abstract


This thesis presents a proposed method for Automatic System Separation or Controlled Islanding to overcome the Blackout problem in the power networks.

Chapter 1 includes an introduction to the Blackout problem and its historical events. This chapter also illustrates power system states prior to and after Blackout to trace Blackout stages. Many actions can be done to prevent Blackout occurrence based on the current state of the power network. These actions are classified into three defense lines. One of the third line actions is the Automatic System Separation (AS) or the Controlled Islanding (CI).

Blackout causes, impacts and solutions are also shown through chapter 1.

Chapter 2 includes the case study in this work which is the IEEE 39 bus 10 machine system. This power network which is known New England system has been widely used in the power system studies. A static analysis is done for this system showing the power flow in each line of the network. Moreover, a dynamic analysis is also done at different system contingency conditions. Some of these contingency conditions may lead the system to be unstable while the others do not affect the system stability. Concern is given to the unstable system conditions as it will be used later in this work.

Chapter 3 includes a literature review on the methods of the Automatic System Separation. These methods can be divided into the predetermined methods and the online methods.
