ANALYSIS TOOL FOR ASSESSMENT OF GRID MANAGEMENT MEASURES USING TIME DOMAIN CALCULATIONS

In order to compare the impact of passive (like net work restructuring) or active (like on-load-tap-changer) grid management measures a novel tool was developed, which performs specific load flow benchmarks tests using synthetic daily load and infeed profiles. In this paper first preliminary results of the anal ysis of a real urban medium voltage distribution grid with 12 2 substations using this tool are presented. Examples are given, of how the developed methodology can be used for the assessment of very different grid managemen t measures and operation circumstances. By using the proposed benchmarks, a novel approach for network planning is introduced.
