ABSTRACT Introduction of DG units in the network will result in increasing fault current levels. In this contribution several solutions are described to limit the fault currents in the network, in order to avoid overloading and destruction of components in the networks. The main focus of the paper is on the application of fault current limiters

NEW NETWORK DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE GRID CONNECTION OF LARGE CONCENTRATIONS OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

ABSTRACT Connecting large concentrations of Distributed Generation to the distribution networks usually requires high investments in network extension. This contribution describes how Enexis used its Risk Based Asset Management approach to develop new network design standards for the grid connection of large concentrations of DG in a cost-effective way

Research Data for A Single-period OPF-based Strategy to Manage Distributed Energy Resources with Intertemporal Constraints in Low-voltage Grids

This presents the dataset associated with the work "A Single-period OPF-based Strategy to Manage Distributed Energy Resources with Intertemporal Constraints in Low-voltage Grids". The work aims to investigate the voltage and thermal issues with the Dutch LV grid under the energy transition, and propose a new strategy to manage these issues through the use of distributed energy resources located at residential premises. The dataset includes base load, EV load, and heat pump load for both a summer and a winter cases, as well as a network topology dataset. The base load, heat pump load, and network topology data are from a Dutch DSO, while the EV load dataset is obtained from a Monto Carlo simulation process. The PV data in the study are obtained from Solcast
