Summary: 

The high proportion of distributed power sources and large-scale charging stations (charging piles) connected to the distribution grid have resulted in a significant alteration to the form and characteristics of the distribution grid. This has led to a gradual evolution of the traditional distribution grid into a new type of distribution grid. Due to the complex source-grid-load coupling relationship of the new distribution system, with the high proportion of distributed power sources, pulse-type power loads, and power electronic equipment, the AC-DC coupling and electrical-control interaction coupling of the new distribution system pose enormous challenges for protection and control coordination. At the same time, the deep integration of wide-area distributed power sources, diversified flexible loads with traditional distribution grids poses challenges to the efficient operation and safe and stable control of the system. To this end, this Special Session will discuss a series of issues related to proactive fault defence and safe-intelligent operation for new-type distribution networks.


Topics:

  • Analysis of the morphological characteristics and evolution path of new-type power distribution networks

  • Noval Neutral grounding technology and application

  • New-type power distribution network fault mechanism, protection and self-healing

  • Noval sensing and fault detection technology

  • Security control of power distribution system under large-scale distributed resources access

  • Optimised scheduling of power distribution system for low-carbon and high-efficient operation

  • Application of digital and AI technologies for new distribution networks
