DAMI Distribution Topology Recovery
Topology recovery in distribution networks using Distance-Aware Mutual Information (Electric Power Systems Research, 2026).
Accurate topology knowledge is essential for distribution system state estimation, volt/VAR control, and fault restoration, yet low- and medium-voltage grid reconfigurations often go unrecorded.
This project introduces the Distance-Aware Mutual Information (DAMI) method to reconstruct radial distribution network topologies directly from nodal smart meter measurements, capturing both statistical dependency and electrical distance between nodes.
