“…Damage to overhead Comparison with statistical data from other regions shows that, in general, the causes of damage are similar both in composition and in percentage [13], [14]. This makes it possible to use the same approaches as in other regions to increase the reliability of distribution electric networks, thus increasing the efficiency indicators of the power supply system of consumers as a whole [15], [16]. The priority of these measures is the downsizing of power lines, the use of automatic sectionalizing of power lines, the use of insulated wires [13].…”
Sustainable operation of the power grid complex is impossible without reliable and high-quality operation of 10/0.4 kV electrical distribution networks, which are the final link in the system for providing consumers with electric energy and are in direct interaction with a specific consumer. The study of statistical information on the composition of distribution networks makes it possible to draw conclusions about electrical network state, to implement recommendations for their development and to compare distribution electrical networks in different regions. This information is especially relevant for analyzing the reliability of power supply to consumers connected to the considered electrical distribution networks. Such indicators of network structure as the length of electric transmission lines of different voltages and power transmission schemes are studied. It also analyzes the number of damages in networks, the causes of these damages, data on the time of planned and emergency outages. This paper considers the structure of 10/0.4 kV electrical distribution networks located on the territory of one of the districts of the Kaluga region. The sample for distribution networks was: 1190 overhead transmission lines and 536 transformer substations. Consumers in the district are 21671 subscribers of individuals and 1986 subscribers of legal entities, that is, a total of 23657 metering points. On the lines of 0.4 kV and 10 kV, the percentage of their isolated design was revealed. The share of single-transformer and two-transformer versions of transformer substations is analyzed.

“…The grid network owner must improve the efficiency of electricity supplied from the MG to the rural customers. This is due to the increase in the system equipment failures and power supply outages; the system protection is critical once the fault has remained in the grid without being isolated [37]. Thus, rural MGs provide many benefits due to the replacement of the low-value energy resources being locally used with the higher-value energy resources for improving the community life standards including education, productivity, safety, and health [38].…”
Fault detection and isolation are important tasks to improve the protection system of low voltage direct current (LVDC) networks. Nowadays, there are challenges related to the protection strategies in the LVDC systems. In this paper, two proposed methods for fault detection and isolation of the faulty segment through the line and bus voltage measurement were discussed. The impacts of grid fault current and the characteristics of protective devices under pre-fault normal, under-fault, and post-fault conditions were also discussed. It was found that within a short time after fault occurrence in the network, this fault was quickly detected and the faulty line segment was efficiently isolated from the grid, where this grid was restored to its normal operating conditions. For analysing the fault occurrence and its isolation, two algorithms with their corresponding MATLAB/SIMULINK platforms were developed. The findings of this paper showed that the proposed methods would be used for microgrid protection by successfully resolving the fault detection and grid restoration problems in the LVDC microgrids, especially in rural villages.
“…Therefore, studies (solutions) aimed at solving the problems of reducing the cost of providing electricity to consumers that are remotely located from power centers and who receive a small load are pertinent. At the same time, these research and development methods should deliver the required efficiency, including highly reliable power supplies and adherence to power quality criteria [1]. One such solution is distributed generation based on renewable energy sources (RESs), which is the most popular among the scientific and political community.…”
Electricity supply as well as the provision of other forms of resources is one of the foundations of efficient agriculture. However, due to the reduction in the number of people living in rural settlements, there have been a large number of power lines with considerable lengths supplying small loads, hence resulting in an increase in power supply efficiency. A single-wire power transmission is an option for reducing the capital cost of power line construction by utilizing fewer conductors and fittings and lighter power transmission towers while lowering operational expenses. This paper considers the possible methods for single-wire energy transmission via the analysis of information sources such as Yandex and Google search engines; Scopus and Google Scholar scientific databases; and Cyber Leninka, eLIBRARY.ru, Elsevier, Springer, IEEE Xplore, and IGI Global electronic libraries. The conducted review revealed four alternatives: a single-wire earth return (SWER) system, a single-wire balanced line (B-Line), resonant wireless power transmission (SWPT) system, and a resonant single-wire power transmission system. The latter is of particular interest due to the lack of comprehensive and detailed information describing this technology, although it has distinct characteristics because of the peculiarities of the resonant mode of operation. The paper provides a comprehensive review of all existing published materials on the topic of “resonant systems for the transmission of electrical energy along a single wire”. The study covers the history of development and the structure of this system; describes its features, advantages, and the problems of using it; and the experience and fields of its application.
