A calculation method of electrical distance considering operation mode

Abstract

An electrical distance calculation method considering operation mode is proposed. Based on line impedance, Phase-angle difference between buses is taken into account to characterize strength of electrical connections. Derivation of electrical distance considering operation mode is introduced. Comparing with traditional impedance electrical distance calculation method, rationality of this method was verified. Electrical distance of IEEE 39 example system is calculated. To explain effect of operating mode on the electrical distance, electrical zone division of power system under different operation modes are compared.
