What is Distribution Management System

Chapter 14
Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in Engineering and Environmental Science
The Distribution Management System (DMS) may be regarded as the control center of the smart grid. The DMS mainly uses the fault location, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Outage Management System (OMS) to improve the reliability of the smart grid by reducing outages and sustaining the frequency and voltage levels. The most important role of DMS is to check the faults and isolate the faulty part out of the system. The “intelligent nodes” of the DMS can communicate with one-another periodically and if a fault occurs then they work together to reconfigure the system.

Abstract
Load flow analysis is widely used to estimate the flow of various electrical parameters such as the voltage, current, and power in power grids. These estimates allow us to effectively and reliably manage the given grid under random and uncertain conditions. Given the enormous amount of randomness and uncertainties in the factors that affect the smart grids, compared to traditional power grids, a complete and rigorous load flow analysis holds a vital role in ensuring the reliability of this safety-critical domain. In this chapter, the authors describe smart grids in terms of their basic components and then categorize the factors that affect the loads in smart grids. This is followed by a comprehensive survey of various existing load flow analysis techniques (i.e., numerical, computational intelligence, and probabilistic).
