In this project, synthetic electricity distribution networks in Canada are built. They are designed using a U.S. Reference Network Model (RNM-US), developed by IIT. This models is able to build a synthetic distribution network from scratch, taking into account information about the location and the demand of the consumers to be modelled. These synthetic networks are not real, but very realistic, and take into account technical and geographical constraints. In particular, the layout of these networks respects the street map. Moreover, they are designed taking into account differential aspects of distribution networks in North America, such as the use of single- and three-phase feeders.
