This paper shows that the smart loads (SLs) could be effective in mitigating voltage problems caused by photovoltaic (PV) generation and electric vehicle (EV) charging in low-voltage (LV) distribution networks. Limitations of the previously reported SL configuration with only series reactive compensator (SLQ) (one converter) is highlighted in this paper. To overcome these limitations, an additional...
As the power distribution grid adapts to distributed renewable generation, certain problems arise. Among these problems is that of high voltages during periods of excess production. Researchers at the California Smart Grid Center have analyzed the feasibility of a water preheater as an energy storage device, coupled with a controller which operates to engage the heater during periods of excess generation...
