Estimation methods of calculations complexity in distribution management systems

This paper discusses the possibility of using the configuration of electric power distribution network as one of the inputs for load balancing of calculations based on power flow. The work contains the basic description of problem with the explanation of the need for distributing power flow calculations to different computational nodes. Two different methods are considered for estimation of calculation execution time: linear approximation and neural network. Experiments show that neural network achieves better results than linear approximation method.
