The smart grid vision has resulted in many demand side innovations such as nonintrusive load monitoring techniques, residential micro-grids, and demand response programs. Many of these techniques need a detailed residential network model for their research, evaluation, and validation. In response to such a need, this paper presents a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) simulation platform for modeling and simulating low voltage residential networks. This platform targets the simulation of the quasi-steady-state network condition over an extended period such as 24 h. It consists of two main components. The first is a multiphase network model with power flow, harmonic, and motor starting study capabilities. The second is a load/generation behavior model that establishes the operating characteristics of various loads and generators based on time-of-use probability curves. These two components are combined together through an SMC simulation scheme. Four case studies are presented to demonstrate the applications of the proposed platform.
