Practical equipment models for fast distribution power flow considering interconnection of distributed generators

Abstract

This paper presents distribution system equipment models for fast distribution load flow calculation considering interconnection of distributed generators. Recently, the number of distributed generators introduced into distribution systems has been increasing, and detailed system analysis using load flow calculation has been eagerly awaited. This paper develops practical equipment models such as various distributed generators, voltage control equipment, and loads. The feasibility of the developed models is verified and demonstrated on practical distribution system models with promising results.
