GIS and AMI Systems as Sources of Data to Improve Grid Operation Efficiency, the Results of a Pilot Study
Journal Title: Acta Energetica - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
New Smart Grid technologies allow increasing grid observability and using data for the implementation of new analytical tools. By integrating the available data, the grid management paradigm can be changed, and grid effectiveness increased. The paper presents the results of a 2014 research work into the potential for reducing technical losses in a low voltage grid through reconfiguration and optimisation of the grid operating system. By using data from LV grid monitoring systems and modern computational methods a significant reduction of the technical losses in LV grids can be achieved with no additional capital expenditures on grid development.

Types of Risks in the Process of Investing in Renewable Electric Energy Sources
The development of renewable power engineering is inevitable. Administrative, financial, political, social, environmental or technical/technological barriers are and must be minimized. They determine the scale of risk bo...
Evaluation of the Complementarity of Wind Energy Resources, Solar Radiation and Flowing Water – a Case Study of Piła
The paper analyses the complementarity of electrical energy yield, using a multiannual, monthly and daily approach, for a small hydroelectric power station, wind turbine and photovoltaic plant. The results obtained point...
Experimental Study of Higher Harmonics Content in Street Lighting System Current
Due to energy efficiency improvement requirements, street lighting system operators tend to reduce the electricity consumed by the lights themselves, and also minimize losses in the system. Smart lighting control systems...
Simplified Distribution Grid Modelling for Connection Analyses
This paper considers the modelling of medium and low voltage grids for the purpose of connection studies by distribution grid operators. Possible simplifications in grid modelling are discussed, which are acceptable from...
