Measurement-Based Equivalent Model of Distribution Networks Considering Static and Dynamic Loads

Due to increase of distributed generation units in power systems, equivalencing of distribution networks and microgrids has received considerable attention. Alongside the distributed generation units, different types of loads are connected to the distribution networks. In this paper, a new measurement-based equivalent model of distribution networks is proposed taking into account both static and dynamic loads. The proposed equivalent model is not just a mathematical model and includes electrical components. Induction motors are modeled and considered in this study to represent the dynamic loads. The proposed method is applied to an IEEE test feeder to evaluate its accuracy and efficiency.
