| Objectives | The output of the project is to produce LV connectivity diagrams, using software, for the trial area which is within an acceptable level of accuracy when compared with the manually derived diagram. The project will have been a success if the end conclusions are able to make a justifiable statement that the use of data analytics techniques with the available data are either 1) able to make an accurate LV connectivity model, or 2) not able to make an accurate LV connectivity model. | |
| Abstract | As the need for the distribution grid to become more flexible increases due to distributed generation and changes in demand, there is value in DNOs having a more comprehensive end to end map of the Low Voltage (LV) network down to individual consumer premises. This more comprehensive map, or connectivity model, will lead to improvements in customer service. The work involved in investigating all the individual connections and creating a comprehensive model would be manually intensive, and costly in terms of manpower. One potential solution is to create the model in software which removes much of the need for extensive fieldwork and manual interaction with the LV connectivity. As a result, the process can be quicker, less costly and just as accurate. This project explores this methodology. The project is a technical method which will use data analytic techniques, with software from Bit Stew Systems, to align Meter Supply Points, their addresses, with local Substations to produce a connectivity model that can show the link between substation feeders and individual premises.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
