Dear Andrey,

 

I am not aware of any tool that offers short-circuit calculation for
MATPOWER. The new open source tool pandapower
<http://www.uni-kassel.de/go/pandapower/>  does however offer short-circuit
calculation according to IEC 60909 (Disclaimer: I am a developer of
pandapower).

 

The documentation can be found here
<http://www.uni-kassel.de/eecs/fileadmin/datas/fb16/Fachgebiete/energiemanag
ement/Software/pandapower-doc/shortcircuit.html> .  The short-cicuit module
is in beta-stadium, but the basic elements that you need for these cases
(line,  ext_grid, gen) are already implemented. The cases you mention are
not directly available in pandapower, but there is a function to import
casefiles from MATPOWER (documentation here
<http://www.uni-kassel.de/eecs/fileadmin/datas/fb16/Fachgebiete/energiemanag
ement/Software/pandapower-doc/converter/matpower.html> ). pandapower is
implemented in python and not in MATLAB, which is however also a scripting
language very similar to MATLAB. This might still be a problem for you if
you already have developments in MATLAB, but I don't know of any other
available solution. If someone else does, I would also be very interested to
know about that.

 

I have attached a short script that shows you how to define the relevant
subtransient parameters, run a short-circuit calculation and output the
results with pandapower.

 

Best

Leon

Betreff: Fault and Protection analysis for reconfiguration and restoration
of the Radial distribution feeders

 

Dear all and Mr Ray


I am developing optimization studies (evolutionary algorithms) in
reconfiguration and restoration in distribution systems in the first part of
my thesis. For this, I'm basically using MATPOWER's runpf function for cases
33, 84 and 135 buses to analyze losses, voltage drops, and so on. In the
second part, I intend to involve studies and protection analysis between
protection devices (relays, fuses and reclosers) for such cases. For this, I
need to conduct short-circuit studies and MATPOWER does not offer me such a
tool. I wonder if some of you have had to deal with this situation. That is,
is there any MATPOWER routine available for short-circuit studies? Can
anyone tell me how I can do short-circuit studies in cases 33, 84 and 135?
Or do I have to associate MATPOWER with some software to do such a study?

 

Att
