Topology modeling of distribution network based on open-source GIS

Topology Identification and Parameters Estimation of Lv Distribution Networks Using Open GIS Data

“…Fig. 11 shows that including constraint (15) in the proposed mathematical formulation improves the general accuracy. Specifically, the maximum relative error in the service lines in the LV-52 and LV-62 networks is below 4%, and that in the LV-95 network is below 6%.…”

“…Fig. 11 illustrates the error in length ratio 𝑙 𝑚𝑛 of all lines when using the proposed mathematical formulation for Case II, solved without and with constraint (15). Fig.…”

“…In the second category, LVDN topologies are generated making use of open GIS data and planning rules [15], such as Open Street Maps (OSM) [16], OpenGridMap [17], etc. Well-designed physical constraints, such as the cable routing based on street layouts and building locations, can significantly enhance the accuracy of the generated LVDN topologies [18].…”

Synthetic Models of Distribution Networks Based on Open Data and Georeferenced Information

“…In that paper, the position of the nodes is known, and the voltage profiles are available. The use of spatial databases for assigning geographical coordinates of the distribution network nodes and the resort to geographical information systems have been successfully proposed in several papers, for building a model of unknown existing networks or, even, for helping planners to choose a suitable route for new lines [12,14].…”
