This allows for possible variation in loads and distributed generation between different feeders fed from a given transformer, allowing the line voltages to be kept within limits on all feeders. A combination of computer simulation and practical experiments was used. A model constructed in Excel gave preliminary results, which was used to specify a more detailed model in Matlab? Simulink. A small-scale 220/380 V distribution network was constructed, with currents limited to 5 A per phase. Finally, a rotary switch was constructed, suitable for currents up to 500 A, which would be required for a full-scale low voltage distribution network. The results showed that the voltage could be kept within limits, even with a large difference in load and distributed generation from one feeder to another.展开更多
