The power quality and energy yield of a large scale PV rooftop power plant in Samut Songkhram province are analyzed and presented in this paper. The power quality is examined and analyzed from the measured data to comply with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) standard in Thailand. The...

Grid integration remains one of the key challenges related to the worldwide expansion of distributed renewable energy systems. This paper presents innovative measures for increasing the hosting capacity of distribution grids with a focus on the medium-voltage grid, based on representative...

Adopting electric vehicles (EVs) and implementing variable electricity tariffs increase peak demand and the risk of congestion in distribution grids. To avert critical grid situations and sidestep expensive grid expansions, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) must have intervention rights,...

With the increasing amount of volatile infeed from renewable energy sources the need for flexibility becomes more and more urgent. This holds especially for the distribution grids where critical load situations caused by high local renewable infeed occur increasingly often. Therefore, demand...

Due to the ongoing expansion of renewable energies and the increasing energy demand of household consumers, e.g., due to the electrification of the mobility and heating sectors, grid bottlenecks and voltage band violations in low-voltage grids in Germany are expected to occur more frequently in...

Adopting electric vehicles (EVs) and implementing variable electricity tariffs increase peak demand and the risk of congestion in distribution grids. To avert critical grid situations and sidestep expensive grid expansions, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) must have intervention rights,...

Low Voltage (LV) electricity distribution grid operations can be improved through a combination of new smart metering systems’ capabilities based on real time Power Line Communications (PLC) and LV grid topology mapping. This paper presents two novel contributions. The first one is a new...

Smart Grids are becoming a reality all over the world. Nowadays, the research efforts for the introduction and deployment of these grids are mainly focused on the development of the field of Smart Metering. This emerging application requires the use of technologies to access the significant...
