Abstract :
The development of optimization strategies for distribution networks is the subject of the innovative Edison project, which is being supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. There are 16 partners from industry and research working together on the project, and real distribution networks are being used as examples. This article reports on the progress achieved so far by the Edison project. By 2003, it is expected that new concepts for distributed network structures, including communication systems and the economic use of distributed power generation, will have been developed and tested on actual networks
