Distribution system for distribnting electricity The invention relates to a distribution system comprising a sector arranged to distribute electricity to a plurality of loads over at least one sector power line, at least one measurement means to measure characteristics of the electricity in the sector and a first communication 1 0 device arranged to send the measured characteristics to a second communication device coupled to means for altering the characteristics of the electricity based on the measured characteristics.
In a distribution system for distributing electricity described in CA2784999, devices and methods for decentralized coordinated Volt/VAR control are provided. In the distribution system a load tap changing transformer transforms electricity from a high side voltage provided on a primary side of the load tap transformer to a low side voltage on the secondary side of the load tap transformer. A feeder line is connected to the secondary side of the load tap transformer. A plurality of distribution lines is connected to the feeder line, each by a 2 0 distribution transformer and loads are connected to the distribution lines.
The load tap transformer and a distribution capacitor bank are controlled by an application platform for Volt/VAR control. The application platform for Volt/VAR control determines the control signals based on measurements obtained at the distribution lines, The measurements are transmitted by first communication devices over a network to a network interface (forming a second commnnication device), of the application platform.
For the application platform to work, a network needs to be present besides the electrical distribution system. This requires separate cabling or a claim of radio frequencies. Arranging 3 0 a cabled network from the application platform to the places at the distribution lines where the measurements are obtained, may be costly, for instance to open and close roads or introduces dependency of an electrical power distribution company to a network provider.
Claiming radio frequencies is very cumbersome and often this process is very slow, It is an object of the invention to provide a distribution system for distributing electricity that at least partly solves one or more of these problems.
This object is reached according to a first embodiment of the invention wherein a distribution system for distributing electricity is provided, comprising -a sector arranged to distribute electricity to a plurality of loads over at least one sector power line; -at least one measurement means to measure characteristics of the electricity in the sector; and -a first communication device arranged to send the measured characteristics to a second communication device coupled to means for altering the characteristics of the electricity based on the measured characteristics characterized by the first communication device and the second communication device being arranged to communicate with one another over the at least one sector power line.
Because the first communication device and the second communication device communicate over the sector power lines, this system can be implemented without the need for an external communication network. This decreases the requirements for implementation and facilitates to optimize the distribution to a wider variety of situations.
The means for measuring the characteristics of the electricity may measure voltage, distortion, current, power factor and or flatness of a voltage across the distribution system.
By altering the characteristics of the electricity based on the measured characteristics, the quality of the electricity distributed can be controlled.

The supply line may be a high voltage line connected to a power generator. The loads may typically be supplied with voltages around nominally 230 V at 50Hz. or 115 Vat 60 Hz, According to EN 50160:2010/AC:2012, the voltage average per 10 minutes should at least be 230 V +10% and -15% and during a one week period the average of the 10 minutes periods should be within 230 V +10% and -10%. The means for allering the characteristics of the electricity typically keep the voltage preferably within 5% of the nominal value, A second embodiment of the invention is provided by a distribution system according to claim 2.
Because electricity can be supplied to the distribution system (I) via the transformer, the voltage in the distribution system (1) can differ from the voltage in the supply line (3).
The supply line may be a high voltage line connected to a power generator.
In a third embodiment of the invention, the distribution system according to the second embodiment is provided, wherein the means for altering the characteristics of the electricity are arranged for altering the characteristics of the electricity at the transformer, By changing the characteristics of the electricity at the transformer, a large loads downstream of the means profit from the changed characteristics.

Because the second communication device is arranged on the secondary side of the transformer, the signal from the second communication device is minimally affected by characteristics of the transformer including inductance. Therefore, a relatively high signal to noise ratio is achieved or a relatively high communication speed.
According to a fifth embodiment of the invention, the distribution system according to any of the first, second, third or fourth embodiment is provided, wherein the at least one sector power line comprises a feeder arranged for distributing the electricity to a plurality of distribution branches and a first measurement means of the at least one measurement means to measure the characteristics of the electricity arranged at a first distribution branch on of the plurality of distribution branches.
With a plurality of distribution branches to which the feeder distributes electricity, the loads in one distribution branch may influence the characteristics of the electricity in another distribution branch. Because the first means is arranged to measure at the distribution branch, the measurements represent the characteristics as experienced by loads connected to the distribution branch at which it is arranged to a high degree. Therefore, the distribution system can be optimally optimized.
According to a sixth embodiment of the invention, the distribution system according to the fifth embodiment is provided, wherein the distribution branch comprises a distribution transformer and the measurement means measure the characteristics of the electricity are arranged to measure the characteristics of the electricity on the secondary side of the distribution transformer.
Because the measurement means measure the characteristics of the electricity on the secondary side of the distribution transformer, the measured characteristics represent the characteristics of the electricity as experienced by loads connected to the distribution branch well being affected by characteristics of the distribution transformer including inductance similar to how in use loads in that distribution branch are affected.
According to a seventh embodiment of the invention, the distribution system according to the sixth embodiment is provided, wherein the first communication device is coupled to a sector power line of the at least one sector power lines on the primary side of the distribution transformer with a port arranged to communicate with the second communication device.
Because the first communication device is connected to a sector power line on primary side of the distribution transformer with the port and not to the secondary side of the distribution transformer, the signal to noise ratio for the communication signal is high or a relatively high communication speed can be obtained.
