RESTRUCTURING OF MV NETWORKS - AN EXAMPLE ON THE WAY TO AN EFFICIENT ACTIVE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

This paper focusses on network analysis, restructuring and expansion measures of an exemplarily MV network. For this analysis a GIS data based model in a state of the art network calculation tool is created. The emulation of network based electrical loads and generation units measurement data, consumption data as well as load profile meter time series data are used to establish load profiles for further network simulations. These load profiles are used to analyze and determine the initial condition of the medium voltage network in basic simulation scenarios and identify weak spots in the network. Furthermore, definitions and analysis of future network expansion scenarios including the network integration of decentralized generation units are simulated and evaluated. Finally, the initial condition of the network is compared to the network expansion scenarios.
