Improving the Speed of Electrical Distribution Network Systems by Improving Data Representation Techniques

摘要

The speed of operations carried out by the control engineers on the electricity distribution network normally takes longer than acceptable in this dynamic environment where speed is vital for both safety and efficiency. The research presented in this paper provides some findings about the evaluation of the efficiency and speed of a number of network traversing algorithms against a set of specially designed data representation techniques. The results of testing the different algorithms on the data structures are given. We demonstrate that by improving the data representation technique of the distribution network, we improve the speed of the algorithms which reflects highly on the speed of the variety of operations, such as switching, tracing and locating the source.
