Abstract
This paper presents some of the results of studies into the impact of extending the connection capacity available for distributed generation (DG) on the volume of SCADA data generated in an actively managed distribution network. The number of voltage alarms, overload alarms and tap changer operations are recorded to permit further investigation and discussion of results. The analysis is performed through the application of an Active Power Flow Management (APFM) scheme to a generic distribution network. A set of tools developed at the University of Strathclyde – as part of the United Kingdom Generic Distribution System project – are used to investigate the impact of the implementation of APFM. The results of the study show that in certain conditions, increased DG connections enabled by active management can reduce the number of voltage alarms and tap changer operations.
