First, we investigated the typical wiring patterns of medium-voltage distribution networks in Tokyo, Japan, Paris, France and domestic developed cities, and summarized experience and shortcomings. Secondly, combining the typical wiring patterns of domestic and foreign distribution networks, construct a diamond-shaped distribution network structure, and study its adaptability, safety and flexibility, power supply reliability, and economy. Finally, take the transformation of the wiring mode of a regional distribution network in a certain city as an example, compare the use of the diamond-shaped distribution network structure in this article with the use of cable double-ring network wiring, cable "double petal" wiring, and Shanghai diamond-type wiring distribution network grid reconstruction The effect verifies the superiority of the diamond-shaped distribution network structure in this paper.
