Feeder vs Circuit

[Sveino]

Issue No. 13_243

Description:
Feeder:
How to modelize a feeder as a collection of equipments powered by the same Feeder-switch.
It is a notion derived from connectivity, Swicthes positions, on which different set of rules (may differ from on utility to an other) are applied to define the spreading part of network concerned.

This is typical to Distribution networks, where networks are managed as radial.

• Usually one Switch feeds a network this network part.

• Open Switches serve as borderline with other network parts (used to rescue when a feeder-switch is down).

• These 2 special points of the network part should be clearly identified and indicate what they are borders to.

• To satisfy deferent detailed level applications, expressing the composition of the FEEDER should be possible at 2 detail-levels: Containers and elementary equipments.
  ** Containers: Substation,Line, VoltageLevel for undetailed definition.
  ** ConductingEquipments or ConnectivityNodes for detailed definition.

• Feeders might be hierarchically subdivided (for Exemple a MV-Feeder, feeds/includes several LV subnetworks ).

Proposed Resolution:

Resurect the Circuit class (or name it as Feeder).
Define associations to its contents:
1- EquipmentContainer<-->Circuit
2- ConductingEquipment<---->Circuit
