The availability of sufficient and economic online capacity to support the network while encountering disturbances and failures leading to supply and demand imbalance has a crucial role in today distribution networks with high share of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), especially Renewable Energy Resources (RESs). This paper proposes a two-stage decision making framework for the Distribution Management...
Due to the proliferation of microgrids in distribution networks and then the growing penetration level of Renewable Energy Resources (RESs) laid in these blocks, the operation problem of microgrids faces with serious challenges caused by RESs volatility and uncertainties; in addition, the uncertainties caused by DGs probable outages compound the situation. These challenges put emphasis on the importance...
The large volumes of data that will be produced by ubiquitous sensors and meters in future smart distribution networks represent an opportunity for the use of data analytics to extract valuable knowledge and, thus, improve Distribution Network Operator (DNO) planning and operation tasks. Indeed, applications ranging from outage management to detection of non-technical losses to asset management can...
The emergence of self-consumption in low voltage consumers has technical and regulatory consequences, due to the changes in the network flows. In this paper these impacts are analysed through a small case study where different production/storage arrangements are considered. The technical analysis shows the voltage profiles' variation and identifies possible overvoltages and the effect of mitigation...
More and more substations are becoming necessary, due to the ever increasing load growth being evidenced by most electric utility companies and the requirement to keep pace with the demands for additional distribution facilities. This guide documents significant environmental items to be considered during the design phase, the construction period, and the operation of safe and reliable substations...
