Network Planning & System Design with Flexibility [WG 2021-2]
The management and control architecture of distribution networks has been modernized over the last decades to assist with the challenges of supporting DSOs. The evolution has been based on the wider deployment of monitoring and control technologies in the field, particularly in the MV network and, more recently, in the LV network. The planning & design of the future power system will be an issue, especially due to the extremely high penetration of distributed and renewable energy sources, storage and other technologies facilitating energy transition.
Different and disruptive approaches have been studied, including those based on “Web-ofcells”; “Fractal”; “Transactive Energy”, “Heterarchical”, etc..
