Abstract
The expected benefits of an Active Distribution Network (ADN), like the improved reliability, the increased asset utilization, and the enhanced access for Distributed Energy resources, will be reached through the adoption of flexible network topologies, innovative protection schemes, and above all a pervasive usage of communication systems. In this paper, in order to better estimate the influence of the ICT on the ADN reliability, the availability of the communication signal has been made dependent on the atmospheric conditions and implemented in a Pseudo Sequential Monte-Carlo (PSMC) simulation tool.
