Journal Article
Distributed generation
TL;DR: In this article, the emphasis is on distributed generators that are interconnected to with utility distribution systems, which are referred to as distributed generation (DG) and are typically no larger than 1 or 2 MW.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytic Considerations and Design Basis for the IEEE Distribution Test Feeders
Kevin P. Schneider,Barry Mather,Bikash C. Pal,Chee-Wooi Ten,G. J. Shirek,Hao Zhu,Jason C. Fuller,José Luiz Rezende Pereira,Luis F. Ochoa,L. R. de Araujo,Roger C. Dugan,S. Matthias,Sumit Paudyal,Thomas E. McDermott,W. H. Kersting +14 more
TL;DR: For nearly 20 years, the Test Feeder Working Group of the Distribution System Analysis Subcommittee has been developing openly available distribution test feeders for use by researchers as discussed by the authors, providing models of distribution systems that reflect the wide diversity in design and their various analytic challenges.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An open source platform for collaborating on smart grid research
TL;DR: An open-source distribution system simulator has been developed for distributed resource planning, harmonic studies, neutral-earth voltage studies, volt-var control studies, and other special applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planning for distributed generation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider distributed generation (DG) can be incorporated into distribution planning as an option along with traditional feeder and substation options, and the planning process needs to incorporate more detailed simulations of capacity constraints and customer damage costs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Distribution system state estimation using AMI data
Mesut Baran,Thomas E. McDermott +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the use of new data available from the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for real time monitoring and control of a distribution system, where voltage measurements and power demand at customer sites are processed to get an estimate of operating condition (i.e., the load profile) on a distribution feeder.
