A PLATFORM FOR CASE STUDY OF ACTIVE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK PLANNING

With the distributed energy resources (DER) integrated, the power flow in the distribution network will be changed, and the network will become the active distribution network (ADN), so traditional distribution system planning faces substantial challenges and new requirements, so the impacts of DER integration should be taken into account. A platform for case study of active distribution network planning is revised in this paper, and typical MV distribution network structure and load information of nods are also provided. The working conditions such as network topology and nominal base voltage are adjustable, which can be applied to carry out the tests of DER integration and to research the impact of grid-connected DER on distribution system reliability.
