VALIDATION OF SMART REFERENCE NETWORK

Abstract

Network pricing is a complex issue, considering the network size and other facets. For distribution networks, reference network aids in quick decision making, for network operation and pricing. There is a sustained interest for development of dynamic network pricing mechanisms to reflect the network cost on a real time basis. Recent developments in smart grid technologies have offered opportunities to utilize these innovative technologies for real time network pricing. This report proposes integrated concept and formation of Dynamic reference networks for practical distribution networks. Proposed works introduced - algorithm for Reconfiguration of distribution networks, along with the algorithm of reference networks. Both concepts coupled to form smart reference networks, with dynamic nature of load, or system parameter, the Reconfiguration algorithm helps to change the networks structure . by closing and opening the switches to obtained optimal networks structure. There after the Smart Reference Networks has formed, which reflects the latest state of real Network, and it is also validated with reconfigured networks.
