Abstract(s)

The use of renewable generation and demand response programs become a reality in the nowadays electricity markets and distribution networks. An intelligent energy management system is required in all levels of electricity supply chain, in order to efficiently profit from the distributed energy sources. However, before the implementation of the business models, the mathematical and simulation models should be well surveyed and verified. This paper presents a model of low voltage distribution network of a university campus developed in MATLAB/Simulink tools. Several types of resource modelings have been used in order to develop a reliable distribution network model. In the case study of this paper, the real consumption profiles of the buildings located in the university campus are provided to the developed model and the behaviors of the network components are surveyed.
