Power system load modelling in a smart grid environment

Summary

Power system load modelling remains a challenging area yet to be fully understood.  Measurement based load modelling is widely used by industry to develop load models at high voltage level for system operations and planning purposes.  With smart grid technologies, there are increasing measurement data available from the low voltage end use customer side.  This measurement data enables better understanding of the load composition and therefore provides great potentials for more reliable, accurate load models to be developed.
