Abstract:In order to simplify the calculation of minimum break point set ( MBPS) ,firstly the power grid is divided. The protective coordination matrix is generated by the relationship of main and backup protection in every sub - network. The matrix is simplified to decrease the dimension. The MBPS of sub - network is obtained by adjusting the protective coordination matrix dynamically. For increasing the sets of MBPS,the MBPS distribution law is introduced. The proposed method can reduce the calculation capacity and get much more sets of MBPS. The simplification and practicality of the proposed method is verified by an example.
