Abstract
Distribution systems are undergoing rapid transformation due to the increasing integration of distributed renewable energy sources, evolving load behaviors, and the growing need for improved power quality. This webinar presents the fundamental principles and practical approaches to load modeling and power quality in modern active distribution networks.
The session covers key concepts in load modeling — including static and dynamic characteristics derived from field measurements, international practice in load modeling, as well as the modeling of modern electrical devices and their impact on network behavior. Special attention will be given to the interplay between loads and power quality issues in modern distribution systems.
Participants will gain essential insights into established modeling techniques, recommended parameter values, measurement-based methodologies, and their application in system analysis and planning. The presentation combines theoretical foundations with real-world examples, offering valuable knowledge for researchers, engineers, and professionals working on the challenges of future power grids.
