Distribution Operation Modeling and Analysis (DOMA)
Jan 16th
DOMA Narrative
This application is based on a real-time
unbalanced distribution power flow for dynamically changing
distribution operating conditions. It analyzes the results of the
power flow simulations and provides the operator with the summary
of this analysis. It further provides other applications with
pseudo-measurements for each distribution system element from
within substations down to load centers in the secondaries. The
model is kept up-to-date by real-time updates of topology,
facilities parameters, load, and relevant components of the
transmission system.
The Distribution Operation Modeling and Analysis
supports three modes… Continue reading
Distribution Operations – Overview of Advanced Distribution Automation
Jan 16th
Introduction to Advanced Distribution Automation (ADA)
Objective: The objective of Advanced
Distribution Automation Function is to enhance the reliability of
power system service, power quality, and power system efficiency,
by automating the following three processes of distribution
operation control: data preparation in near-real-time; optimal
decision-making; and the control of distribution operations in
coordination with transmission and generation systems operations.
Scope: The ADA Function performs a) data
gathering, along with data consistency checking and correcting; b)
integrity checking of the distribution power system model; c) periodic
and event-driven system modeling and analysis; d) current and
predictive alarming; e) contingency… Continue reading

These projects are described below:
Integration of Distributed Energy Resources in Electric Utility Systems
Overview
Distributed Resources (DR) will have increased impacts on distribution utilities, due not only to improvements in DR device technology, cost, and efficiency, but also to the rapid growth of the deregulated electricity marketplace. These deregulation forces have spurred interest in non-standard and dispersed sources of generation to meet increasingly… Continue reading
