Load Balancing of Large Distribution Network Model Calculations

Abstract

Performance measurement and evaluation study of calculations based on load flow analysis in power distribution network is presented. The focus is on the choice of load index as it is the basic input for efficient dynamic load balancing. The basic description of problem along with the proposed architecture is given. Different server resources are inspected and analyzed while running calculations, and based on this investigation, recommendations regarding the choice of load index are made. Short description of used static and dynamic load balancing algorithms is given and the proposition of load index choice is supported by tests run on large real-world power distribution network models.
