“…This way, the loads to be used for power flows for each demand scenario are obtained. These factors are calculated by (2), where P i is the demand under the i th scenario and P is the maximum load associated with the zone of influence of the generator. After obtaining the demands and the factors for each scenario, the whole network to be affected by the DG is modeled.…”

In this work four methods for estimating annual technical power losses in distribution networks due to the distributed generation (DG) connection are studied. The methods are obtained of professional sources, and are evaluated in a test system. A new method is proposed in this work to be contrasted to previous methods. To find the best method, the power losses of a base case are estimated with simulations every 15 minutes, considering variability of load demand and power generation. Results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method respect of other analyzed methods. The proposed method can be a useful tool within a Decision Support System for optimizing control, operation and planning of the distribution network.

“…Ref (Jamasb & Pollitt, 2008) examines the incentive properties and related aspects of the reference firm model-Network Performance Assessment Model-as used in Sweden and compares this with frontier-based benchmarking methods. Ref (Frías, Gómez, Cossent, & Rivier, 2009) analyzes how traditional regulation of distribution system operators has to be improved to accommodate higher levels of distributed generation. In this paper, a new method for regulation of separated parts of Distribution Companies (DISCOs) has been presented.…”

Asset management framework and its incentive economic equations are represented in this paper. To this end, asset management process conducted to realize distribution targets, are considered and a comprehensive framework of these activities is represented. This framework can be utilized in planning and evaluation of distribution system. On the basis of asset management comprehensive framework, economic equations are formulated and regulation indices are determined. Afterwards, method that regulates key indices is described. This method is conformed to distribution targets. At the final step, numerical studies on Tehran Province Regional Electrical Distribution Company (TPREDC) are presented. In TPREDC activities were done with few incentives, therefore productivity and benefit had reduced. After implementation of proposed internal regulation, it can be seen that key indices have been improved.

Integrating the Weight of History into the Alignment Framework: The Case of Distributed Generation Technologies

Whereas a centralized energy supply system is still dominant today, the energy sector is currently witnessing the development of small-scale and more geographically dispersed generation units, so-called distributed generation technologies. The alignment framework proposes a very useful approach to look at this evolution. Yet, we argue in this paper that this framework does not fully take into account the inertia associated with past technological and institutional choices that may hinder future changes. Relying on the concept of socio-technical lock-in, we illustrate this point with the case of the diffusion of distributed generation technologies. Based on this analysis, we propose an adaptation of the alignment framework to integrate these elements.
