Patent ID: 8301312

Claim:
A fault situation processing arrangement of a load distribution system of a local electric power transmission network comprising: a fault situation processing element designed to be installed into each generator of the electric power transmission network, each generator of the network being connectable to other generators via two connection routes equipped with different switches, the power transmission network being a line or a loop and the generators having consecutive identifiers, and the generators being connected to each other via a data communication bus, wherein the processing element is arranged to: monitor a fault situation of the data communication bus and statuses of the switches of the electric power transmission network, compare the status data concerning the same switch, change into droop control if the status data of at least one switch does not correspond in the comparison and when there is no fault situation in the data communication bus, or if there are data communication faults in connection with adjacent generators or in connection with the first and last generator of the network, replace the status data of the switch with the status provided by the adjacent generator concerning the same switch when there are no data communication faults in connection with the adjacent generators or in connection with the first and last generator of the network, and the status data of the switch does not correspond in the comparison.
