Abstract

Load modelling attracts renewed interests these days in maintaining peak load conditions, supplying new types of loads and accommodating more renewable generation into electricity networks. This work describes real measurement data acquisition and step-by-step signal processing for developing aggregate load models at 11kV and 6.6kV level. Challenges in analyzing real measurement data are highlighted and issues to improve measurement-based load modelling are discussed. Load models at 15 substations from a UK distribution network are presented with subsequent model parameters. These load models will provide an insight to the operational flexibility, network resilience and management requirements of the measurement sites and related up-and-downstream substations.
