Reducing power outage time to each customer is a crucial aspect of ensuring overall distribution reliability. This comprehensive book offers a foundational understanding of emergency operations through a graph-theoretic approach, delving into the subsystems responsible for managing electrical fault occurrences. By employing remote-controlled normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switches through supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) between radially energized, interconnected feeders, the localization of a faulted segment within a feeder is achieved.

The book encompasses a range of topics, including:

Data Extraction from Geographic Information Systems (GIS): This chapter discusses the process of extracting relevant data from GIS systems, which are essential for understanding the distribution network.

Graph Modeling of Distribution Feeders: This chapter explores the use of graph theory to model distribution feeders, enabling the analysis and optimization of power flow.

Programming for Backward/Forward Sweeping Unbalanced Power Flow: This chapter covers the programming techniques required for analyzing and solving unbalanced power flow problems, which are common in distribution systems.

Short Circuit Analysis and Fault Localization: This chapter discusses the methods used to analyze short circuits and locate faults within the distribution network.

Fault Isolation, Temporary and Full Service Restoration: This chapter covers the steps involved in isolating faults, restoring power to affected customers, and coordinating efforts between outage management and crew coordination.

Outage Management and Crew Coordination: This chapter discusses the strategies and tools used to manage power outages, including the use of trouble call tickets and escalation to search for faults.

Trouble Call Tickets and Escalation to Search for Fault: This chapter explores the process of handling trouble call tickets and escalating them to search for faults, ensuring timely resolution of issues.

Emerging Subject of Distribution Management Systems (DMS): This chapter discusses the emerging field of DMS, which involves the use of advanced technologies and algorithms to optimize distribution operations.

By providing a comprehensive and practical guide, this book empowers readers to gain a deep understanding of emergency operations in the context of distribution systems. It serves as a valuable resource for students, professionals, and researchers seeking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in this field.
