Abstract

The paper presents the current state of art of a developed smart Distribution Management System (DMS) environment based on the innovative SCADA systems. The tool is designed to intelligently manage, on-line and off-line, the distribution systems with a high penetration of dispersed generation and is particularly adapted to the specifics of the distribution systems in Italy. The work results from the research project InGrid done by Siemens Italy in cooperation with Politecnico di Milano and Università degli Studi di Milano universities. Research activities have been carried out for innovative functions for the management of medium voltage distribution grids in presence of distributed generation. Such functions have been deployed in a software tool and have been tested in real life conditions.
