Abstract

Processes in large energy systems exhibit a high variability due to the stochastic nature of electricity production and use. However, the control of the energy transfer aims to achieve steady state operation, which is mostly described by signals fully identifiable by a finite set of parameters. Part of the control system is the process of information delivered through measurements. In this paper, we analyze the impact of the measurement system deployed for reporting the RMS parameter of the voltage signal on the quality of information in LV distribution networks. The operation of such networks is highly stochastic, and the chosen models based on averaging are not always appropriate; therefore, we propose to apply a statistic metric, i.e., the coefficient of variation of the root mean square deviation CV(RMSD).
