4-Wire load flow analysis of a representative urban network incoprating SSEG
Abstract
The effect of increased connections of micro generation technologies can only be truly analysed if accurate distribution network models are used. Such models must be 4-wire, capable of load unbalance consideration and cognisant of the effects associated with multiple grounding on the network. This paper describes such a model. Through a multi-phase load flow algorithm based on the backward/forward load flow technique, a 4-wire suburban distribution network in Dublin, Ireland which explicitly incorporates representation of the earth will be analysed. In conjunction with representative consumer load and commercially available micro wind generators, issues including voltage unbalance, voltage rise (associated with varying penetration of micro/small generation technologies) and neutral earth voltage (NEV) effects associated with such technologies are investigated.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The capacitance between lines and between line and earth can be neglected in distribution networks because they are relatively small.
“We omit the capacitance between lines and between line and earth because distribution networks are relatively small and therefore, the overall capacitance can be neglected (c.f.[37,38]).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
