Email this article Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Networks for Tomography in Smart Grid – Performance Comparison between Topology Identification Methodology and Neural Network Identification Methodology for the Distribution Line and Branch Line Length Approximation of Overhead Low-Voltage Broadband over Power Lines Network Topologies
Abstract
Until now, the neural network identification methodology for the branch number identification (NNIM-BNI) has identified the number of branches for a given overhead low-voltage broadband over powerlines (OV LV BPL) topology channel attenuation behavior [1]. In this extension paper, NNIM-BNI is extended so that the lengths of the distribution lines and branch lines for a given OV LV BPL topology channel attenuation behavior can be approximated; say, the tomography of the OV LV BPL topology. NNIM exploits the Deterministic Hybrid Model (DHM) and the OV LV BPL topology database of Topology Identification Methodology (TIM). By following the same methodology of the original paper, the results of the neural network identification methodology for the distribution line and branch line length approximation (NNIM-LLA) are compared against the ones of the newly proposed TIM-based methodology, denoted as TIM-LLA.
