@ARTICLE{Łukaszewski_Artur_Multi-sourced_2021, author={Łukaszewski, Artur and Nogal, Łukasz}, volume={69}, number={5}, journal={Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences Technical Sciences}, pages={e137942}, howpublished={online}, year={2021}, abstract={Self-healing grids are one of the most developing concepts applied in electrical engineering. Each restoration strategy requires advanced algorithms responsible for the creation of local power systems. Multi-agent automation solutions dedicated for smart grids are mostly based on Prim’s algorithm. Graph theory in that field also leaves many problems unsolved. This paper is focused on a variation of Prim’s algorithm utility for a multi-sourced power system topology. The logic described in the paper is a novel concept combined with a proposal of a multi-parametrized weight calculation formula representing transmission features of energy delivered to loads present in a considered grid. The weight is expressed as the combination of three elements: real power, reactive power, and real power losses. The proposal of a novel algorithm was verified in a simulation model of a power system. The new restoration logic was compared with the proposal of the strategy presented in other recently published articles. The novel concept of restoration strategy dedicated to multi-sourced power systems was verified positively by simulations. The proposed solution proved its usefulness and applicability.}, type={Article}, title={Multi-sourced power system restoration strategy based on modified Prim’s algorithm}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/120316/PDF/16_02309_Bpast.No.69(5)_drukM.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2021.137942}, keywords={self-healing grid, micro-grid, reconfiguration, greedy algorithms, graph theory, simulations, Prim’s algorithm}, }
