Method of putting into operation a system for determining the power flows in a power distribution facility

Abstract

A method is disclosed, in at least one embodiment, of putting into operation a system for determining the power flows by way of system components which are arranged at various places in a power distribution facility, in particular of an electrical power network, and are connected to one another by way of a communications network, it being possible for the characteristics of the electrical power network at these places and of the system components arranged at these places to differ from one another and the parameters and/or attributes of the system components to be respectively adapted to these differences in advance. A more efficient method is obtained if the system components that have the same relationship with their neighboring system components are respectively assigned to one and the same group, one system component of the group is selected and the other, nonselected system components of the group take over the parameters and/or attributes of the selected system component, the parameters and/or attributes being respectively adapted before the takeover in accordance with prescribed rules if characteristic of the electrical power network at the associated place or of the respectively associated system component differ from those of the selected system component.
