This document discusses self-healing in smart grids. It defines self-healing as a smart grid's ability to quickly detect and isolate faults and reconfigure itself to restore normal operations. The document outlines the components of a smart grid that enable self-healing, including sensors, communication infrastructure, control algorithms, and actuators. It also describes the goals of a self-healing system as being reliable, fault-tolerant, and resilient. Tools that can help achieve self-healing are discussed, such as software agents, synchronized phasor measurement units, and information communication technology. Self-healing is explored at the levels of transmission grids, distribution grids, and microgrids.

6. SELF-
HEALING
SYSTEM
GOALS
Reliable systems
•Quick and accurate
analysis of faults
•protect the system
from harmful
effects
Fault-tolerant
systems:
•When a fault occur
the system
performance is not
affected.
•Assuring the
continuity of
service under any
conditions.
Resilient system
•Minimization of the
service's self-
renewal period
•Reconfigure to cope
with disturbances.
8. TRANSMISSION
GRID:
• PMU along with GPS
• FCC when DGs integration
• In HVDC Transmission use of CBDISTRIBUTION
GRID:
• Overcurrent relay
• wireless token ring protocol
(WTRP)
• islanding when the power system
faces a crisis situation.
MICROGRIDS:
• group of localized generators,
storage devices, and loads
• ability of a SG to switch the
microgrid from/to the islanding
mode
9. TOOLS FOR
SELF-
HEALING
GRIDS
Software agents
•Grid Component Agents
•Distributed Resource
Agents
•End-User Agents
•Failure Control Agents
•Data Analyse Agents
•Graphical Visualizations
Agents
Synchronized phase
measurement unit
•Synchronized PMU is a
digital device that
measures the phasor
value at a time tag, the
time tag is referenced at
multiples of the power
system rated frequency
Information
communication technology
(ICT)
•collecting and exchanging
information, transferring
results, executing
decisions, and monitoring
real-time device states in
all power grid sectors are
the responsibility of the
smart communications
subsystem
