All analytical applications are developed on the basis of algorithms specially aimed for
distribution networks, which enable performing both analysis and optimization of
operation and development of very large radial and weakly meshed distribution networks.
The system is based on the Network Model and consists of number mutually compatible
applications, organized as modular libraries. Such organization provides very simple
individual upgrading, extension with new applications and adjustment to any new
customer requirement.

determining and marking supply paths of network elements, finding neighboring feeders
of a selected feeder, searching for the "local network, etc.
Load Flow (LF) application is used for the calculation of steady states of radial and
weakly meshed primary MV power grids (networks), as well as state of secondary LV
power grids. The network state consists of: complex voltages, currents, flows of real and
reactive power, voltage drops, losses, etc. Usually, among all state variables, the state
vector is defined as a set of all network nodes complex voltages. The state vector is
sufficient for calculation of any other network state variable.
State Estimation (SE) provides an assessment of loads of all network nodes, and all
other state variables (current phasors of all sections and transformers, active and
reactive power losses in all sections and transformers, etc.). The load profiles are
derived on the basis of historical data, where historical data consist of two groups: 1)
Dimensionless daily load profiles for real and reactive power (P-Q) which are weather
dependable, and 2) Load weights peak values (kW, kVAr), supplied energies (kWh,
kVArh) or rated powers of the equipment (kVA).
Performance Indices (PI) is used for detection of violations, alarm states, reports of the
overall performances of the network state (power injection, losses, consumption, voltage
situation and deviations, overloads, etc.). The PI application is used to provide insight
into network state and to offer objective assessment whether some changes that improve
network operation or not are needed.
FLISR (Fault Location, Isolation and Supply Restoration) presents collection of tools
used for detection, location, isolation of faults and restoration of supply for all deenergized customers. FLISR can be used in manual semi-automatic and automatic
mode. Each of applications which can be used as part of FLISR is also available as a
separate application.
Fault Location (FL) application supports detecting location of the fault. It calculates
locations where faults could have occurred by analyzing the fault pattern, available realtime information acquired from field devices, including, fault indicator outputs, fault
magnitude at various locations on the feeder, and protective relay trippings.
Element Isolation (EI) determines which switching manipulations are needed for isolating
selected element. EI has a possibility to define type of equipment used for isolation.

and printing list of switching actions and Switching Orders (SO). A Switching Order
encompasses a set of appropriate attributes and a list of switching actions prepared for
execution in real-time or simulation in preferred coordinated manner. It predefines a
procedure for issuing command operations to elements in a network, such as
opening/closing various types of switches, placing/removing tags, changing set-point
values of local automation, implementing cuts and jumpers, blocking, grounding etc. SO
also gives ability to check influence of all manipulations in switching list on the network
and this is known as switching validation. Switching validations are available through
whole SO lifecycle and it can be started automatically before execution. The Switching
Order also represents an official document, with all necessary information needed for
performing required switching, issued to a responsible person in the field.
Under-Load Switching (ULS) simulates the process of under-load network
reconfiguration load transfer and offers possible solution for this operation. The goal of
reconfiguration is to transfer load of one feeder (or its part) to another one through a
normally open tie switch, without interrupting supply of any consumer on both feeders.
ULS application is used in situations when network configuration is changed but without
interrupting supply of the customers.
Load Shedding (LS) application is used for disconnecting network parts (loads) in case of
emergency situations and different types of disturbances which can occur due to lack of
generation or due to overloaded network elements. It is a complex application aimed for
shedding of load under emergency conditions, as well as restoring load after the system
conditions are restored. The power value of loads which need to be restored is estimated
according to their pre-estimated values of power. If user indicates that limit of some
monitored values is violated, he/she initiates Load Shedding execution. During Load
Shedding execution, loads can be disconnected in a prioritized order. The loads to be
shed and their priorities can be entered and modified through applications options.
Temporary elements (TE) are a feature of the DMS system where the user can introduce
a limited set of temporary changes to the electrical model, for the purpose of temporarily
altering its connectivity. The examples are Cuts, which cut one or more phases of an
overhead line, and Jumpers, which are short lines which temporarily connect otherwise
disconnected nodes of a feeder. Temporary elements are typically introduced by load
operators which order their placement by a field crew, in order to temporarily isolate a

part of the network being repaired, or temporarily re-energize consumers whose supply
cannot be restored by other means (such as executing a switching procedure).
Dynamic Equipment Rating (DER) is used for monitoring and prediction of thermal state
of network elements. It is applied for calculation of thermal ratings of substation
transformers, overhead lines and underground cables, based on actual or forecasted
loading and ambient temperature. This application provides simple monitoring of
elements in distribution network with the following advantages: having insight into actual
thermal state of network elements and providing potential overloading capabilities based
on the thermal monitoring.

network. Reduction is put into effect only by supplied under-load tap changing
transformers covered by SCADA. In keeping with this results of the application are the
optimal manipulations of the tape changers of these transformers.
Network Reconfiguration (NR) determines the optimal radial distribution network
configuration (locations of normally open tie switches) regarding to optimization objective
(minimal active power and energy losses; maximal reliability; best load balance or best
voltages profiles). Reports about improvement of operation performances and reduction
of losses are provided, as well as switching sequence for transfer from existing to optimal
state (graphical and listing). Analysis of influence of every switching action on
improvement of network performance is possible, enabling selection of only limited
number of switching actions that give highest improvement.
Near Term Forecasting (NTF) analytical application is used for forecasting of load
diagrams for the next 15 minutes up to 24 hours. Forecasted load curves of the entire
network (overall Load Forecasting) are provided, or forecast only for the selected areas,
down to feeder measurements.
Short Term Forecasting (STF) analytical application is used for forecasting of load
diagrams for the next 1 7 days. Forecasted daily load curves of the entire network
(overall Load Forecasting) are provided, or forecast only for the selected areas, down to
feeder measurements.
Load Management (LM) application provides load control strategy for reduction of
distribution (utility) network peak load, by application of various load control techniques
on consumer loads (households, commercial sector and industry). This application
ensures maximal utilization of available controllable resources (water heaters, air
conditioners, electric space heaters, storage heaters etc.), taking into account
constraints/demands regarding customer's comfort, technology and economy, as well as
shifting of the peak load to valley portions of the daily load curve.
Operation Improvement (OI) analytical application executes in a real-time network
operation, for the periodic and systematic checking of improvement possibilities of the
network operation performances (economy, security, quality and reliability). Improvement
of current network state could be achieved by certain control actions, suggested as
application output.

Operational Losses (OL) analytical application provides the real operational
power/energy losses in the entire distribution radial or weakly meshed, balanced or
unbalanced network, or its parts, for real network state and configuration, for the
specified time period. OL application provides data about total active/reactive energy
injection, active/reactive energy losses, active/reactive energy generation and
active/reactive energy consumption in specified period of time. In general, energy losses
can be divided into technical (copper and iron) and non-technical (commercial sources).
OL calculates technical losses, only.
Reliability Analysis (RA) is used for calculation of the reliability indices in distribution
network. It deals with planned and unplanned outages. Distribution network reliability is

and motor speed.
Harmonic Analysis (HA) application is used for analysis of harmonics influence in MV
and LV networks. Power quality of energy in LV networks can be severely affected
because presence of electronic devices and various commutations are very intensive
sources of harmonics in the LV network, also the intensity of harmonics is not damped by
means of transformation or isolated transformer neutrals,.
Historical application (Historical server and the corresponding Historical database)
provides the insight in the activities and events of the electrical network in the past. The
time stamp and the user are recorded for every activity or event in the DMS system.
Historical database is populated with data from the DMS database associated with the
time stamp and user data. The purpose of the DMS historical system is the creation of a
historical delta. Historical delta is a set of actions that need to be applied to the network
in order to change the network state from the starting point in time to the ending point in
time. Therefore, the DMS historical system provides timeline of data changes in the DMS
system.

development for existing networks, on any saved case from the past on top of real-time
data of the network, taking into account the optimal dynamics of installing new elements.
Network Automation (NA) analytical application is used for planning of automation of MV
distribution networks (remote and local automation equipment in MV network), necessary
for improvement of the service reliability. Task is to find the optimal solution for selected
equipment, how many equipment and on which location to apply, to achieve selected
target (e.g. reduction of SAIDI under specified limit), respecting cost/benefit analysis,
available investment budget, selected time period, etc. The main objective of this
application is the reduction of outage time and non-delivered energy.
Capacitor Placement (CP) application is used for determination of optimal locations,
types, sizes and switching status of capacitor banks, which have to be installed in the
distribution system for the purpose of reactive power compensation, real power (energy)
losses minimization, reduction of the reactive power supplied from transmission network,
power factor correction and voltage profile improvement.
Network Reinforcement (NR) is used for the planning of existing distribution network
reinforcement. This application encompasses issues as planning of supply substations,
planning of medium voltage network (feeders), planning of the secondary substations
and checking of the technical and security criteria.
5.5. Training
Dispatcher Training Simulator (DTS) provides a training capability that realistically
models the distribution network and interacts with the trainee, as in dispatcher center.
Simulator prepares data and simulates events during the training. Trainees responds to
simulated events (generated automatically by the simulator) and his actions are tested,
evaluated and possibly improved.

Technical Specification
Continuous automatic switching sequence generation and execution by the system itself
(without human intervention) represents closed loop (CL) procedure. With the combined
capability to automatically generate and then execute a switching sequence, ADMS will
be placed into a mode where it will continuously perform these combined activities. That
is, monitor the distribution system, determine the switching sequences that will optimize
the network state or handle an outage in the network, and then execute those switching
sequences against the field devices. This mechanism will continuously control and tune
the electrical distribution system based on current and on-going network conditions.
There are 2 CLs:

Technical Specification
After the FLISR cycle is completed, VVO CL can be re-enabled on the affected
substation area manually, by Operator, or automatically, by the DMS system. This
functionality will be configurable, but it shall be noted here that the DMS will not make a
difference between successfully and unsuccessfully completed FLISR cycles.
