In this paper, a new model for the distribution system including non-linear loads is introduced. The model is based on measurements, where current and voltage rneasurements at two different operating conditions are used to derive an equivalent Norton model for the distribution system. An advantage of such a model is that knowledge of the distribution system details is not necessary. Another advantage is that the model can simulate the performance of the modeled part of the distribution over a reasonable range of variations in the operating conditions. Moreover, the amount of measurements required is significantly decreased.The proposed model has proved its accuracy in representing the performance of the distribution system including non-linear loads as well as its simplicity and minimum required measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
