Abstract
A method for determining a network structure or layout of at least a part of an electricity transport network, for instance a low voltage part of this network extending in a city, includes providing a test signal to the network at at least first network location; and verifying whether the test signal, which has been provided to the first network location, reaches at least a second network location, in particular utilizing at least one detector. An embodiment of the invention relates to a system for determining a network structure or layout of at least a part of an electricity transport network.
Claims25
A method for determining a network structure or layout of at least a part of an electricity transport network, for instance a low voltage part of the network extending in a city, the network comprising a number of end-user locations being coupled via electricity transport cables to a plurality of transformer stations, the method comprising:
- providing a test signal to the network at at least a first network location;
- and
- verifying whether said test signal, which has been provided to the first network location, reaches at least a second network location, to determine which second network locations are connected to which first network locations, wherein said first network location or second network location is located in or near a transformer station of the network, while said second network location or first network location, respectively, is located in or near an end-user location.
A system for determining a network structure or layout of at least a part of an electricity transport network, for instance a low voltage part of this network extending in a city, the network comprising a plurality of end-user locations being coupled via electricity transport cables to a number of transformer stations, the system comprising:
- at least one transmitter configured to input at least one test signal to the network at or near at least first network location;
- and
- at least one detector configured to detect the presence of said test signal at at least a second network location of the network.
