Abstract
The paper gives a detailed description of an equivalent network modelling procedure. Evaluation of the model uses statistical analyses based on the well-known nodal equations. Validation of the model, for different operational conditions, shows that the simplified equivalent network can replace the original network for simulation and control purposes. The paper also indicates the significant reduction in system complexity as a result of the equivalent network modelling procedure.
