Abstract

BKW as the Distribution System Operator (DSO) of the Swiss cantons of Berne and Jura installed more than 800 measurement devices in a representative contiguous area in order to evaluate the existing guidelines and the potential benefit of additional measurement devices at different levels of the distribution network (DN) for planning and operation purposes. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the KALAMEUS project. The analysis of power flow and the simulation of different scenarios enabled the development of new models in order to estimate the maximum load per customer connection and the simultaneity of peak loads. Moreover, the analysis of further simulations with additional distribution generators helped to identify the optimal number of measurement devices for different potential scenarios. This pilot project has identified and analysed about 80 key questions with the collected measurement data of the last two years.
