Accelerating performance in critical topology analysis of distribution management system process by switching from monolithic to microservices

Abstract

© 2018 Editura Academiei Romane. A distribution management system increases system efficiency optimizes power flows, and prevents overloads. Such a system whose responsive time is significant, using microservices in this paper is studied. This paper proposes an application for the distributed topology analysis of an electricity network model. The application relies on microservice architecture; one service being divided into multiple microservices, with Microsoft Azure Service Fabric used for deploying microservices. Testing is performed on different test cases and the benefits of obtained results for using such an application in microservice environment is demonstrated. The results obtained are compared with monolithic results of such an application. The results demonstrated required quicker execution times for calculations deployed as microservices.
