Voltage sag assessment using an extended fault positions method and Monte Carlo simulation
February 2016 • Jorge Washington Sagre, John E. Candelo-Becerra, Johny Montaña
In this article, we propose an extended fault positions method combined with the Monte Carlo method to evaluate voltage sags. The distribution function SARFI is obtained by taking into account the randomness of (i) location of faults in lines, (ii) generation dispatch, and (iii) the prefault voltage. Voltage magnitudes are calculated with power flow, while noting changes in the generation dispatch, the load, and the topology of the area of vulnerability (AOV). The method is tested in the Atlantic coast area of the…
