Abstract :
This paper described the coordination of using medium voltage distribution substation SCADA, Smart Meters serving as synchro-sensors and coupled with AMI communication and GIS system for optimizing distribution network operation. Network losses management by improving the system load factor, balancing the system voltage and at the same time combining capacitor bank control and demand response type applications and asset management are topics discussed in this manuscript. This paper also discusses the synergism amongst the different applications and how advantage can be taken to optimize the whole energy delivery system.
