Estimation of load distribution networks based on density-based clustering algorithm

In this paper, the density of the load profile is determined first, and for each density, the epsilon radius is determined.Then the density-based algorithm is applied to the data set, with the parameters obtained.To evaluate this method, Davis-Bouldin Validation Index has been used. After clustering the existing load profile, the lost load is estimated and analyzed. The proposed method is based on a distribution feeder with 10 load points and randomly generated 1000 load profiles.The results of load estimation and its comparison with actual load values indicate that the proposed method is desirable.
