Abstract

This paper concerns the key applications of the photonic voltage and current sensors platform, which are specific to supporting the growth of hydro generation capacity and digitalisation in the Nepalese grid. It is shown how the passive distributed sensing system can provide real-time synchronised measurements, which can be used to provide detailed assessment of harmonics, earth faults, and other phenomena over a wide area. It is also shown how new grid connections can be conveniently monitored and protected with unit protection, to therefore allow continued growth in renewable generation while ensuring safe and efficient operation. The platform improves grid visibility, enables targeted system response to improve energy transport efficiency, enables new connections of distributed generation to improve availability of supply, and supports grid digitalisation in Nepal.
