Abstract

Rapid and wide-spread deployment of new technologies in the electric power distribution network under the concept of smart grids has resulted in a growing need to new standards and guidelines specifically designed to address emerging technological challenges and further streamline the use of new technology. This document is prepared as part of the activities to develop the IEEE Power and Energy Society’s “smart distribution application guide”, to give guidance to utilities and network operators in the use of new technology in electric power distribution. The document will provide a description of the available new technology based on its application, followed by a more detailed description of the technologies and associated supporting solutions. The topics discussed in this document include improving the reliability of supply, improving the power quality, improving the efficiency of distribution-system operation, increasing hosting capacity for new production or for new consumption, and allowing market functioning and participation of all network users. This paper contains some examples of texts as they are currently being discussed within the smart distribution working group.
