Abstract:A new principle and scheme of a Feeder Automation based system protection using the channel of communication is proposed. The conjoint protection devices exchanging fault signal with direction information and the fault can be cleared instantly. These information can hel Pto isolate the fault zone and restructure the network rapidly. The recover is used for instantaneous faults. The optical MODEM disjoins the SCADA communication and Boolean signals functions using coding technology. So the fault flags can be exchanged rapidly peer-to-peer and special optical cables are not needed. Frames between optical MODEM are sent automatically. This scheme presented is successful through physical simulation experiment and has operated for about two years in a real distribution network.
