Abstract

An integrated system of power applications for management of distribution networks is presented in this paper. First, there is a definition of what overall performances should be achieved in such an integrated system in order to meet completely the needs of modern distribution utilities in the deregulated environment. Then a rich set of functional possibilities is described, which such an integrated system offers in four main modes. Finally, the positive experience and benefits of the utilization of this system in several distribution utilities is presented.
