Simulation for power systems distribution / Md Razli Ab Rahim

Most power system analysis are performed on transmission networks because of their over-riding importance in terms of security of supply and very high investment cost. Distribution analysis has traditionally been neglected due to its localized impact on system and customers. Nowadays, the use of distribution analysis is becoming common for power utilities partly due to its close proximity to the customer. This thesis first briefly reviews the distribution network peculiarities, information and facilities provided by common distribution software and some functions of distribution automation. The thesis was focused on simulation of distribution system case study. Results obtained from the case study will be useful for user in distribution planning and operation.
