“…Review of available related works presents the strengths and weaknesses of communication links such as direct pilot wire, leased digital phone line, fiber optic cable, licensed radio, and spread-spectrum radio (in which ZigBee belongs). The consideration for the choice of a specific communication link includes the bandwidth and speed of signal transmission with security robustness [22,54,55]. However, priority begets the ZigBee link capabilities regarding the systems vast array of potentials for WSNs monitoring and controlling.…”

“…Routing the communication signal directly from the terminal equipment of the transmitter to the receiver avoids delay and this applies to the frequency of unlicensed radio bands of 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz, including others from point-to-point spread radios which ZigBee WSNs affirms. The advancement in ZigBee application embraces an acceptable line of sight range depending on the configuration supports applicable [55]. Although the radio signal may experience interferences of co-existence of spectrum from Wi-Fi, spread-spectrum radio sets reasonable classification of signal protections across a wide frequency band.…”

Monitoring the thermal behavior of distributed energy resources (DERs) network explores the dualism between thermal effects and electrical power flow. This paper proposes a design concept that monitors thermal conditions of DER grids, using ZigBee/GSM wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for real-time monitoring in rural and remote areas. The concept seeks to improve upon existing designs by integrating composite functions. The functions comprise temperature conditions monitoring, data acquisition, and wireless data transmission including data storage and abnormal conditions alert/notification for control solutions. Thus, the concept determines the thermal impact on the DERs integrated network. WSNs with temperature sensors LM35 are utilized to complement ZigBee and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies as a communication assisted link. Temperatures are measured from solar Photovoltaic PV modules, wind turbine, distribution cables, protection control units, and energy storage facilities. The ATMEGA328P microcontroller is assigned for signal and control processing. The circuit performance is coordinated and displayed on an LCD screen for normal conditions, whereas abnormal scenarios communicate through an alert/notification by GSM Short Message Service (SMS) protocol. The development analysis was performed through algorithm and circuit simulations. Proteus software was used for circuit design. Both the algorithm and circuit analysis passed the assigned simulation stages.Processes 2019, 7, 383 2 of 29 and material characteristics increases the power demand and hence causes severe thermal problems to the network. It then results in a reduced power quality [1,2]. Thermal behavior monitoring is relevant in electrical distribution networks for the performance of current, voltage, real power, and reactive power. It also influences the operation of protection and control systems.The thermal conditions scenario demands the DERs grid to have prompt system monitoring and potential self-healing schemes to address the development of faults using WSNs [2]. Discussions in [3,4] consent to the monitoring and reliable strategies of distributed power grid adapting to online monitoring to enhance system performance and integrity. The consent reflects the criteria for analyzing DER grid operations, hence involving Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). The technological advancement for merging IT and OT improves data acquisition for system performance of DERs as smart grid [4]. Moreover, in [4,5] system planning, operation, and protection control, OT promotes efficiency in DER networks. The above discussions support online thermal conditions monitoring and controlling of the grid operations to achieve optimum performance. It is also consistent with the assertions in [3] which advocate that the DERs grid improvement cannot adequately be achieved without real-time and online conditions monitoring of components performance. Furthermore, active integration of the DERs network requires an innovativ...

“…In 2011, M. Condadad and et al proposed the guideline for selecting best distance relay teleprotection schemes among POTT, PUTT, DCB and DUTT including how to compute the proper relay tripping time in IEEE conference [9]. In 2012, Schweitzer and et al proposed the application of using 915 MHz radio communication in distributed generation teleprotection schemes which mainly mentioned the simulation results of using radio wave as mediums on six different teleprotection schemes: POTT, PUTT, DCB, DCUB, DUTT and DTT to prevent the damage in distributed generators when the short circuit fault occurred at the point of main power supply [10]. In 2013, Antonova and et al proposed the review of using communication technique with relay protection schemes in five different aspects in order to see the effects of variety communication systems by different types of faults [11].…”

This research paper presents the new idea of applying the transmission line teleprotection scheme called direct transfer trip (DTT) technique to use with a closed-loop distribution network. A large-scale 163MW gas turbine power plant connected to a three-substation closed-loop distribution network was chosen to be a case study here. A newly-proposed DTT configuration, DTT logic diagram and circuit breaker trip matrix had been redesigned and presented in this paper. For the proposed DTT configuration, several remote terminal units will be installed at every substation connected to the distribution network, whereas the logic controller will be installed at the selected power plant. A huge advantage over the conventionally-installed zoning peer-to-peer protection scheme is that the proposed DTT logic controller is able to almost instantaneously compute and send out the clearing faults command, regardless of fault locations in this particular closed-loop distribution network, while the conventional one cannot in many cases. Additional benefit is that the proposed DTT teleprotection scheme completely prevent the generators from operation in island mode resulting in minimal lost and damages caused from this circumstance. The relay test tool is used to verify the proposed DTT protective capabilities and speed. The simulation and commissioning test results confirm the proper functionality of the proposed technique. The implementation to the real field has been done and presented here as well. What we have learned from this case study shall be a very good guideline for other similar circumstances.
