Drivers
• Problem statement– There is a need to enhance the capability of SSEPD’s
operational Information Systems, to facilitate the anticipated development of the low voltage network
– Modelling tools require accurate network data, but re-drawing of the network in the chosen package is time-consuming and costly, with scope for introducing error
– Traditional methods of modelling electrical networks rely on accurate customer loading data; this will become more important when Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) / Distributed Generation is added to the system.

Power Analysis Tool Evaluation
• Three Power Analysis Tools evaluated
CYMDIST from CYMEPowerFactory from DigSilent WinDEBUT from EA Technologies
• Chose CYMDIST
Energy Profile HandlingIntegration options with Smallworld Electric Office Engagement with the supplier, CYME

Aim
• To Model an LV network capturing data electronically from old and new information systems.
– Customer Network data in GIS transferred into suitable format
– Integration of Network Modelling Environment with Power
Analysis Tool
– Modelling and management of new low carbon
devices/distributed generation
– Accept half hourly load profiles
– Run multiple scenarios or variants e.g. 1 day / 1 month / 1 year

Implementation – Existing GIS data
![Page 9: LV Network Modelling](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814a38550346895db754d4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Implementation – Transfer to Electric Office
– Large expandable
database facility.
– Electric Office allocates
customer phasing.
– Single line representation
of 3 phase connectivity.

Implementation – Transfer to CYMDIST
– Re-creates network
– Performs calculations on
data
– Sends to the results to
Electric Office
– Normal use - no visibility
– Selected users can access
for in-depth analysis

Load and Generation Profile Manager
• Energy Profiles Manager in CYMDIST • Multi Year, future and past • Individual End Points / Customer Types • Load and Generation • Analysis for specific time points, and ranges
![Page 14: LV Network Modelling](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814a38550346895db754d4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
User Cases
• Operational Staff– Quick and simple method of confirming a back-feed or mobile
generation is within limits
• Desktop quoter– Simple check against whether new load or generation can
connect onto network
• Network planner
– Allow modelling of load/generation growth up to 5 years in
advance. New large scale development planning.

Summary
– Appropriate modelling tool evaluated and tested with Electric Office
– Proof of concept model completed – tested with various load profiles
– User cases established
– Forms the basis of the system for use in the
New Thames Valley Vision project
