Subtransmission Networks

- Swing bus (or slack bus): voltage magnitude and angle are known (multiple supply busses connected the transmission grid).

- PV or generation bus: active power and voltage magnitude are known (representing DG units).

- PQ or load bus: active and reactive power are known.

Conclusions

• computational tool to evaluate technical aspects related to the installation of DG units in electric power distribution systems

• DG units in the reduced MV network for conventional load flow and short circuit methods

• DG injected power flows are determined for different load levels and the MV network is analysed in detail by a specifically designed three-phase load flow algorithm
