Review of Power System Distribution Network Architecture

Distribution network is one of the main part of power systems as it is connected directly to the load center. The concept of integrating renewable and distributed energy sources in distributed level is a great concern for the power system engineer nowadays. Further research by power companies and engineers is ongoing to apply better techniques to improve power quality and stability of power system in distribution network. This paper presents a review of fundamental distributed network architecture including radial, ring and meshed distributed network looking at the concept of distributed network architecture, types, operation, controlling, management, growth model, advantages and disadvantages of existing distributed networks.
