Cost effective smart grid solutions for the integration of renewable power sources into the low-voltage networks (CEVSol)
Techno-economic analysis of classical grid reinforcement, PV active and reactive power control (APC and RPC), line voltage regulator, on-load tap changer , battery storage and load management in several grid categories
Description
In this project, technical performance and economic efficiency of solutions for voltage control in distribution grids with large fractions of renewables will be developed and evaluated. This will be carried out based on the analysis of existing distribution grids by extracting approximated/reduced grid models. The methodology will be applied on national as well as international (Germany and Austria) distribution grids.
