Abstract
The management of distribution networks is changing. In UK like in other world country the idea to install smart meters in every building is now reality. The use of smart meters will introduce many benefits but also problems about their technology. One of problems is that some measures could be reported late or some smart meters could work incorrectly. The paper presents an algorithm to estimate the voltage in radial distribution networks, where there are some measurements not available from smart meters. The method, based on the assumption of some missing data refers to backward and forward sweep. This is implemented in Matlab allows the estimation voltage with a very small error. The report also highlights some success factors associated with smart meters.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
