Summary
Drivers
• Problem statement
– There is a need to enhance the capability of SSEPD’s
operational Information Systems, to facilitate the anticipated
development of the low voltage network
– Modelling tools require accurate network data, but re-drawing of
the network in the chosen package is time-consuming and costly,
with scope for introducing error
– Traditional methods of modelling electrical networks rely on
accurate customer loading data; this will become more important
when Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) / Distributed
Generation is added to the system.

Power Analysis Tool Evaluation
• Three Power Analysis Tools evaluated
CYMDIST from CYME
PowerFactory from DigSilent
WinDEBUT from EA Technologies
• Chose CYMDIST
Energy Profile Handling
Integration options with Smallworld Electric Office
Engagement with the supplier, CYME
Aim
• To Model an LV network capturing data electronically
from old and new information systems.
– Customer Network data in GIS transferred into suitable format
– Integration of Network Modelling Environment with Power
Analysis Tool
– Modelling and management of new low carbon
devices/distributed generation
– Accept half hourly load profiles
– Run multiple scenarios or variants e.g. 1 day / 1 month / 1 year
Data flow diagram
Implementation – Existing GIS data
Implementation – Transfer to Electric Office
– Large expandable
database facility.
– Electric Office allocates
customer phasing.
– Single line representation
of 3 phase connectivity.
Implementation – Transfer to CYMDIST
– Re-creates network
– Performs calculations on
data
– Sends to the results to
Electric Office
– Normal use - no visibility
– Selected users can access
for in-depth analysis
Load Flow Analysis
CYMDIST Load Distribution
Load and Generation Profile Manager
• Energy Profiles Manager in CYMDIST
• Multi Year, future and past
• Individual End Points / Customer Types
• Load and Generation
• Analysis for specific time points, and ranges
User Cases
• Operational Staff
– Quick and simple method of confirming a back-feed or mobile
generation is within limits
• Desktop quoter
– Simple check against whether new load or generation can
connect onto network
• Network planner
– Allow modelling of load/generation growth up to 5 years in
advance. New large scale development planning.
Summary
– Appropriate modelling tool evaluated and tested with Electric
Office
– Proof of concept model completed – tested with various load
profiles
– User cases established
– Forms the basis of the system for use in the
New Thames Valley Vision project
