OBJECT-ORIENTED MODELING SOFTWARE FOR ELECTRIC-LOAD ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

This paper presents an object-oriented modeling software, LoadLab, for the load analysis of electricity distribution networks. A characteris tic feature of LoadLab is that it uses load pattern models where consu mption is represented as the sum of the daily and weekly rhythms of co nsumption, the effects of outdoor temperature on consumption, and rand om variation. With object-oriented modeling methods we can manage the hierarchical structure of the distribution network which is reflected in the load models. Network load patterns and their confidence interva ls are obtained by combining existing load pattern models and consumer characteristic data.
