Project definition

Problem statement

An 11 kV distribution feeder must keep voltage, conductor loading, transformer loading, and technical losses within planning limits as demand, solar generation, topology, and outages change.

Project objectives

  • Build a balanced 33/11 kV source and two radial 11 kV feeders with documented electrical data.
  • Verify buses, lines, transformer, switches, loads, and PV aggregations.
  • Run present-day, load-growth, solar-PV, daily-profile, outage, restoration, and mitigation cases.
  • Measure voltage, loading, losses, reverse power flow, and planning-limit violations.
  • Compare tap boost, capacitors, conductor reinforcement, and a combined future-peak solution.

Project structure

Project components

01

Network builder

Creates 11 buses, 10 line sections, one transformer, nine loads, five PV aggregations, and a normally open tie.

02

Power-flow runner

Executes balanced pandapower load flow with convergence, result, and power-balance checks.

03

Scenario engine

Runs load sweeps, PV sweeps, 96-step daily operation, branch outages, restoration, and mitigation cases.

04

Result analyser

Calculates minimum voltage, maximum loading, losses, reverse flow, violations, and planning summaries.

05

Verification suite

Checks the network model, expected engineering trends, result counts, mitigation outcome, and repository completeness.

Methodology

Project workflow

  1. 01
    Build

    The scripted model creates the feeder, ratings, impedances, loads, generation, and switch topology.

  2. 02
    Simulate

    The pinned pandapower 3.5.4 environment completes 153 configured study cases.

  3. 03
    Analyse

    Python consolidates bus, line, transformer, contingency, and time-series results.

  4. 04
    Verify

    Seven tests check model counts, present operation, future violations, PV behaviour, outage restoration, and mitigation.

  5. 05
    Report

    Tables and figures present the engineering assumptions, results, limits, and conclusions.

Demonstration scenario

The synthetic feeder passes all present evening-peak checks. At 135 percent demand it fails voltage, loading, and loss limits. A combined tap, capacitor, and conductor-reinforcement case restores compliance while the project separately studies solar reverse flow and outage restoration.

Engineering

Tools and method

Tools
The project uses pandapower 3.5.4, Python 3.13, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib for subject analysis, simulation, and results.
Environment
Pinned Python 3.13 and pandapower 3.5.4 packages in a reproducible Docker image.
Network model
Balanced steady-state equivalent circuits represent a synthetic Indian 33/11 kV supply and two 11 kV radial feeders.
Studies
Load flow, load and PV sweeps, daily profiles, outage loops, tie restoration, and mitigation comparisons.
Verification
Independent radial-feeder calculations, power-balance checks, trend tests, fixed case counts, and automated acceptance limits.

Testing

Evaluation

Evaluation measures

  • Present evening-peak minimum voltage of 0.9430 p.u.
  • Present maximum line loading of 72.17 percent and transformer loading of 68.76 percent
  • Reverse power flow beginning at 1.4 times installed PV during 55 percent load
  • First load-growth voltage violation at 110 percent demand
  • Restoration of all nine single-branch outages through the normally open tie
  • Combined future-peak mitigation improving minimum voltage from 0.9204 to 0.9772 p.u.

Project boundaries

  • Only the pinned pandapower 3.5.4 model and result files are delivered.
  • The network is synthetic and uses balanced steady-state assumptions for education.
  • Protection coordination, electromagnetic transients, grounding, harmonics, and live control are excluded.
  • Utility planning and construction require verified asset data, applicable standards, and qualified power-system engineers.
