Abstract

© 2022 IEEE.With high renewable penetration, increasing popularity of electrical vehicles and rapid growth of electrical system especially in urban areas, modern distribution power systems are becoming more complex. Having situational awareness of the system is crucial for system operator both to have knowledge on the current state of the system and where to improve infrastructure. In this paper an application of a situational awareness tool for an active distribution power system is discussed. Improvements on the information gathered about the system with situational awareness tool are given as well.
