Using Wireless Communications to Enable Decentralized Analysis and Control of SmartDistribution Systems.

In this project we are proposing a framework that uses wireless communication links to

enable decentralized and real-time load flow analysis of distribution systems. This analysis is

performed by smart agents installed at each bus in the distribution system. Using the

outcome of this analysis we can perform decentralized real-time control.

The proposed framework allows the analysis to take into account any changes in the system

status (generated power, load power, DG status, transformer tap settings, .. etc.) as soon as

it happens, and hence the appropriate control action can (but not necessarily) be taken in the

next iteration of the analysis.

We have selected the backward / forward sweep method to perform the load flow analysis in

this project, in such a way that each agent will perform a part of the calculations and forward

the results to its parent or children so that the analysis can proceed. In this project we will verify the validity …
