    Abstract

    The transition towards low-carbon electricity systems is reshaping the way distribution networks will be operated in the near future. Distribution Network Operators are facing a future with increasing penetration of utility-scale renewable generation, consumer-scale demand side management, utility-scale storage, and electric vehicles. These new network participants must be integrated without compromising the security and reliability of the distribution network. This work presents a practical introduction to synchrophasor measurement technology and its applications in smart distribution networks. The applications discussed include: control of distributed resources, loss of mains, model validation, and frequency stability.
