2. Inventory of existing MV structures

Before undertaking any network development study, it is essential to analyze all the characteristics of the MV facilities in order to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the MV network in terms of product quality, electrical capacity and sensitivity to technical and climatic contingencies. It is also essential to understand the network's structural organization in order to assess aspects relating to the control and operation of facilities. To this end, it is useful to consider a schematic representation of the MV feeder structure (see figure 4 ).

It is also necessary to analyze the external environment in order to assess the...
