To study basic principles and methods of exploitation, management and control of distribution networks (DN), modern tools for solving particular and practical problems and the impact of deregulated market of electricity on DN management

Introduction to basic models for certain problems of analysis and DN management. The knowladge of analytical methods and program tools for solving problems of analysis and DN management. The abilitz of students for modeling and solving the mentioned problems in real DN.

Basic problems of DN analysis and management. Control systems DN – DMS (description, structure, analytical power functions etc.), automatic control systems, types of equipment in the control centers. Calculation in DN: the power flow and DN state estimation, calculation of failure regime (short circuits and conductor interruptions), analysis of losses and reliability in DN. Management: voltage regulation and reactive power, voltage regulation methods, voltage regulation through transformer with regulation in the load and non-load state.
