Abstract [en]

The ongoing transition towards the distributed generation paradigm is significantly affecting the way modern Distribution Networks (DNs) must be designed and operated. New functions are being introduced year over year, by following the increasing complexity of grid codes. As a consequence, the adoption of smart protection systems is becoming a key-enabling solution for the application of advanced control and protection mechanisms, such as those implemented by Interface Protection Systems (IPSs). In this case, particularly when complex legacy systems are considered, the replacement of existing devices with intelligent units is indeed often not sufficient, and proper communication infrastructures must be deployed to meet the required coordination capabilities, thus increasing the overall costs. To overcome this drawback, in this study the use of a wireless network based on the LoRaWAN technology is proposed to implement the coordination of IPSs. Based on the real use-case of the Engineering campus of the University of Brescia, the coordination of independent low voltage generators connected to the same medium voltage point of common coupling with the main grid is examined in terms of the required coverage range and communication latency. Finally, the scalability of the proposed solution is discussed by referring to the estimated data throughput, and by considering the LoRaWAN duty cycle limitations. © 2019 IEEE.
