Abstract :
The Smart Grid Metric is a tool for systematically measuring the impact of smart grid technologies on the performance of distribution grids. For metric calibration, synthetic medium voltage (MV) test grids with distributed generation are modeled, using different approaches for urban and rural MV grids. The Smart Grid Metric is exemplarily applied to two rural test grids to demonstrate the impact of reactive power management by distributed generation on grid voltages and metric results as one example of smart grid technologies.
