Abstract
The penetration of Distributed Generation into the
distribution networks has been increasing during the last
decades. However, the increase of generation brings additional
technical challenges for the Distribution Network Operators.
Thus, the integration of Distributed Generation along with the
improvement of the quality of service is driving Distribution
Network Operators to actively control their networks. In order
to achieve an effective control of the distribution network it is
necessary to estimate the voltage on the network. This paper
presents a method to accurately estimate voltage on the MV
Network from limited measures of voltage and current. A
method to determine the best location to place those voltage and
current sensors is also explained.
