A Benchmarking Testbed for Low-Voltage Active Distribution Network Studies

Distribution Simulation Package for Low Voltage Distribution Network

1. DGM / TNEB, Research Scholar/Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, India 2 Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, India Abstract Distribution loads vary in response to temperature, time of the day, day of the week and other factors such as humidity precipitation a...

Control concept for active low voltage distribution networks

The following proposal describes the results of the first phase within the research project “DG DemoNet – Smart LV Grid”. The consortium out of distribution system operators (DSOs), research institutions and industry partners have defined a set of control strategies for active low voltage grids. Each strategy can be seen as successive stages, which on the one hand are increasing in complexity o...

A New Method for Considering Distribution Systems in Voltage Stability Studies

In methods presented to calculate the voltage collapse point, the transmission system is usually the only part of the power system that is completely modeled. Distribution systems are often replaced by aggregate load models because the use of the detailed model of distribution systems in voltage stability analysis not only increases the computation time, but also decreases the probability of co...

Mitigation of Unbalanced Voltage Sags and Voltage Unbalance in CIGRE Low Voltage Distribution Network

Any problem with voltage in a power network is undesirable as it aggravates the quality of the power. Power electronic devices such as Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) etc. can be used to mitigate the voltage problems in the distribution system. The voltage problems dealt with in this paper are to show how to mitigate unbalanced voltage sags and volt...
