Modeling and Simulation of Faults in Distribution Network System Using MATLAB/Simulink

Abstract

This study presents the detail integration of faults in distribution network systems (DNS). Simulation and modeling is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software package. The suggested model is user friendly and can be used as a common platform for both control and power system engineers. The proposed model is very simple, fast and precise. A detailed modeling technique is presented. Ede distribution Business Hub of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) of Osun Region, South West, Nigeria is used for the modeling. This network contains two feeders that is: Ede Township feeder and Ede Cottage feeder. The designed model is used to validate the results of reliability appraisal from the data of IBEDC to justify the need to transform from the long century present traditional grid to smart distribution grid. The results of simulation shows from the waveform display that various contests facing centralized traditional distribution grid need modern technologies to shift to decentralized smart distribution grid for smooth distribution of power system to ensure an improved quality and reliability.
