Abstract :
This paper presents a new smart grid infrastructure for active distribution systems that will allow continuous and accurate monitoring of distribution system operations and customer utilization of electric power. The infrastructure allows a complete array of applications. The paper discusses four specific applications: (a) protection against downed conductors, (b) load levelization, (c) loss minimization and (d) reliability enhancement.
