Application of Medium-voltage High-speed Analog Communication Technology in Distribution Automation

With the rapid development of society, the emergence of society and people’s daily life have put forward higher quality requirements for power supply. The original distribution system cannot monitor and control the circuit condition in real time. The power grid operation efficiency is low, and the loss of electric energy in the transmission process is large, resulting in the unstable power supply to users. With the development of smart grid, distribution automation has become the goal of Power System (PS) development. There are many noise data in the process of medium voltage distribution communication. In this paper, the medium voltage high-speed analog Communication Technology (CT) was applied to distribution automation. By modulating the signal and other operations, automatic power distribution can be realized, which can effectively shorten the maintenance time of fault circuits and quickly share power data resources. This paper compared the traditional medium-voltage distribution with the distribution automation based on the medium-voltage high-speed analog CT. The experimental results showed that the average power supply reliability of the traditional medium-voltage distribution and distribution automation was 88.90% and 95.56% respectively in the 10 kV voltage. In the 20 kV voltage, the average power supply reliability of traditional medium-voltage distribution and distribution automation was 90.24% and 97.04% respectively. Therefore, the application of medium-voltage high-speed analog CT in distribution network to distribution automation can effectively improve the reliability of power supply.
