Acquiring reliable data for distribution control systems

摘要

To develop future automation schemes for the control, planning, and operation monitoring functions of an entire electric distribution system, it is necessary to build a database containing voluminous technical and statistical data. Such a database includes relevant values required to perform control in real-time and extended real-time and to carry out the functions of operation planning and statistical analyses. Here, the authors describe how DrawBase is an acquisition database package that enables such collection and management of technical and statistical information required for distribution system analysis.
