Impact of active network management in operation of Tabriz distribution system

This paper proposes a new paradigm for distribution system operation under Active Network Management (ANM). The ANM method has essential role to facilitate the connection of new generations without need of reinforcement traditional network. This paper presents a cost function based on active management that minimize energy cost of Distribution Network Operator (DNO). The proposed objective function is determined based on optimal power flow and with considering the technical constraints. The results of ANM method are compared with the Passive Management (PM). The analysis was carried out successfully considering a real 29-bus urban distribution network in Iran. This paper uses GAMS software to solve the short-term operation problem on case study.
