This paper describes a voltage stabilizing control mechanism using the available flexibility of smart devices within one household. The flexibility of all types of smart appliances is used, especially smart on/off devices. The main advantage of the developed control system is that it does not require a communication network between the different households, only locally available measurements, such...
A major challenge consists of considering all stakeholders of the future Smart Grid, each with their specific and possibly opposing objectives. A distribution network operator aims at guaranteeing power quality criteria while consumers aspire lowering their power consumption bill. This fundamental issue currently delays the transition from small-scale research projects to a large-scale all-encompassing...
In this paper, we present a distributed voltage control mechanism that is being used in the large-scale field-test of the Linear project. The control system developed does not require a communication network between the different households. Only the locally measured household supply voltage is taken into account. The proposed control system is compatible with DSM infrastructure currently being developed,...
High penetration levels of photovoltaic systems on low voltage electricity nets tend to lead to overvoltage problems. Currently, in the residential sector of the Belgian Flanders region, the only way to reduce those problems is by means of completely halting the inverter. This paper investigates the power quality improvements of a fixed method of gradual active power curtailment in order to minimize...
The LINEAR project (Local Intelligent Networks and Energy Active Regions) focuses on the introduction and implementation of innovative smart-grid technologies in the Flanders region, and aims at a breakthrough in the further development and deployment of these solutions. It consists of a research component and a large-scale residential pilot, both focusing on active demand-side management of domestic...
