FEATURES OF USING REMOTE CONTROL SWITCHING DEVICES IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING ACTIVE DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Abstract

Widespread introduction of sources of distributed generation in 6-10 kV networks leads to the need to use new technical means and develop an appropriate methodology for controlling regimes. At the same time, the formation of active distribution networks, as a stage of implementation of the Smart Grid concept, envisages, along with their automation, the provision of adequate information monitoring of electricity transmission and distribution processes. Only under these conditions there is a possibility of the decision of many problems of management of operating modes of distribution networks with necessary level of efficiency. Based on this, in this paper the problem of choosing the optimal configuration of the distribution network is considered as a task of operational management. To make economically justified decisions to change the topology of the distribution network, the article developed a new model for predicting the electrical load and output power of distributed generation sources. The peculiarity of this model is its adaptability and the ability to simultaneously predict the values of the relevant parameters of the mode during predetermined time intervals.
