Active distribution management vs. selective automation for urban distribution grids

This contribution will focus on a developed tool within the national founded research project “REstrukt-DEA”. The aim of this tool is to provide the possibility of comparison and evaluation of complete different selective restructuring and operation measures of distribution grids with selective smart grid technologies, like active distribution management or selective automation. To show the future use of the tool a brief summary of relevant Austrian research projects addressing this topic is given, the structure of the tool is presented and a first example of the representation and interpretation of simulation results using the tool is shown.
