3C Architectures for Electric Power Distribution Network Management

9220855 Varaiya电力行业正在进行重大重组，以通过更好的设备利用率降低资本支出，通过更好的公司间协调降低燃料成本，以及通过提供更好地满足客户需求的差异化服务来提高绩效。 实现这些性能增益将需要大大扩展的能力来监测和控制整个电力网络。 设计并实现了一个实验室规模的配电网管理系统. 逻辑上，DNMS将被组织成三层：通信设施，允许管理站交换监测和控制信息，将远程物理元件，如配电电容器和客户仪表;应用设施，允许实现特定功能的算法，如调整电容器，以尽量减少损失;和解释设施，隐藏其他设施的物理元件的异质性。 DNMS系统将在大容量电力和配电系统的模拟器上进行设计和测试。 这项研究将建立在配电自动化和电力公用事业通信体系结构的最新工作，并在最近的工作电信网络管理。 ***

9220855 Varaiya The electric power industry is being significantly restructured in order to improve performance by reducing capital expenditures through better equipment utilization, by reducing fuel cost through better inter-firm coordination, and by offering differentiated services that better match customer needs. The realization of these performance gains will require a vastly expanded capability to monitor and control the entire power network. It is proposed to design and implement a laboratory- scale Distribution Network Management System (DNMS). Logically, the DNMS will be organized into three layers:the communication facility which permits management stations to exchange monitoring and control information will remote physical elements such as distribution capacitors and customer meters; the application facility which permits implementation of algorithms for particular functions such as adjusting capacitors to minimize losses; and the interpretation facility which hides from the other facilities the heterogeneity of the physical elements. The DNMS system will be designed and tested on simulators of the bulk power and distribution systems. The research will build a recent work on distribution automation and power utility communication architecture, and on recent work on telecommunications network management. ***
