Abstract
There is proposed a computer-implemented method for automatic correction of a topology of a smart network that uses the information contained in the voltage measurements provided by smart meters in order to determine which meter is connected to which transformer. The method starts from an initial topology and divides up the meters into first and second batches for each transformer. Successive reallocations of meters in the second batches are made according to similarities with average voltages calculated and corrected from the first batches of meters. The method proceeds by iterations until there remain no more meters attributable to other transformers and updates the topology so that its evolution at a given time be readable.
