Abstract
The report comprises a summary of the results of the
first four years of the research programme EDISON on
distribution automation in Finnish utilities. The five
year research programme (1993 - 1997) is conducted under
the leadership of VTT Energy, in cooperation with
universities, distribution companies and the
manufacturing industry. The main part of the funding is
from the Technology Development Centre TEKES and from
manufacturing companies.
The goal of the research programme is to develop a new
scheme for a complete distribution automation system,
including the network automation, computer systems in the
control centre and the customer associated automation
functions. In addition, the techniques for demand side
management are developed and integrated into the
automation scheme.
The final aim is to demonstrate the automation functions
and systems of the scheme in real distribution systems.
The results of fifteen projects are now given. These
results should be considered intermediate, since most
projects will be continued in 1997.
