Simulation and Operation Analysis of a Smart Grid Using Simulink

Changes will be required to handle the increased power flow in the network as the distribution infrastructure ages and the number of EVs and renewable grows. Designing and operating an intelligent network that reacts to changing power flows to ensure the optimal operation is the most economical option than fortifying the network with heavier cables. This work aims to build a model of a 13 bus medium voltage distribution network with high penetration of distributed energy resources and use it to analyze network conditions. The MATLAB Simulink software is used to model and evaluate the network. The outcomes suggest the model is promising and valid even when renewable generation is at low levels.
