Distribution Systems traditionally have a tree-like structure with several branches. They supply loads that vary through the day and as a result, some branches are loaded more than others are. By reconfiguring the system, loads from the overloaded branches may be moved to under-loaded branches. Consequently, loads in the branches can be balanced so that the real power losses are reduced and the voltage...
Smart Grid initiatives proposed by governments and industry organizations have the potential to support carbon mandates/targets. While the options and scope of the changes that might be deployed within the transmission and distribution system to respond to climate change initiatives, is not yet defined they options could include bi-directional power flow, the increased use of distributed variable...
The growth in renewable and distributed generation is driving the gradual evolution of the methods used to plan and operate transmission and distribution networks. Smart Grid technologies in the area of Active Network Management (ANM) are expected to facilitate the increased connection of renewable and distributed generators to electricity networks in the near-term. Other Smart Grid technologies are...
Supplying a reliable, efficient, economic electrical service to all customers is the basic responsibility of utilities. However, increasing penetration of new customers in distribution grids as dispersed generation (DG), electric heating systems and electric vehicles (EV), makes conventional operation of energy supply systems difficult while meeting the aforementioned responsibility. Therefore, the...
This paper discusses the authors' experience of developing an active network management system for use by two different distribution network operators (DNOs) in the UK with differing network management requirements. The paper describes the fundamental building blocks of AuRA-NMS (autonomous regional active network management system) and how their development was driven by the requirements of the partner...
