Big data usage in electrical distribution systems: A review
Keywords:
Distribution System, Dynamic Energy Management, Smart Grid, Data Analytics, Big-dataAbstract
By this study, author aims for reader to get basic knowledge about relation between data and distribution systems and big-data analytics concept on energy distribution systems. Concept of intelligent energy systems, namely smart grid is described. Big-data basics is explained. Benefits of data-driven systems are searched. A detailed information about applications of big-data on distribution systems is given. Sources of energy big-data is mentioned. Finally, we point out the challenges of managing big data-driven distribution systems. Affect of big-data analytics of energy efficiency. A comprehensive review on big data driven smart energy management applications is presented.
