دانلود Minimisation of distribution network real power losses using a smart grid Active Network Management System

Abstract

Network losses in electrical power delivery systems contribute, in-directly, to carbon emissions. lobal and national carbon reduction programmes are crucial to meeting  obligatory  targets.  In  the  UK, the  Office  of  Gas  and  Electricity Markets (Ofgem) recognise the impact of distribution  network  power  losses  and  offer  incentives  to operators to reduce emissions through the published Distribution Price Control Reviews (DPCR). With this increasing pressure upon distribution network operators) DNOs),  the  development  of  loss  minimisation  tools  for  the purpose of real time evaluation and control strategies for loss reduction could add value over the traditional methods used. This  paper  will  build  upon  the  research  carried  out  within  the Autonomous Regional Active Network Management System (AuRA-NMS) project with the scope of implementing a distribution network real power loss management algorithm. Results from development and integration, within a closed loop simulation environment on commercially available substation computing hardware, are presented.
