About

    Distribution networks refer to the system of interconnected transmission and distribution lines that transport electricity from power plants to end-users, such as residential, commercial, and industrial customers. These networks play a crucial role in delivering electricity efficiently and reliably to consumers. Distribution networks consist of substations, transformers, switchgear, and various other electrical equipment that help regulate and control the flow of electricity. These networks also include smart grid technologies, which enable better monitoring, management, and automation of power distribution. Research in distribution networks focuses on optimizing system performance, increasing reliability, integrating renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing grid resilience. This research area also explores ways to address challenges such as aging infrastructure, cybersecurity threats, and the integration of electric vehicles and other emerging technologies into the grid. Overall, research in distribution networks aims to modernize and enhance the electricity distribution system to meet the changing needs of consumers and support the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
