Understanding network losses is important regarding energy efficiency and grid regulation. A method was developed to determine grid losses for each voltage level of a distribution grid and to investigate the influence of distributed generation and reactive power. The losses in an actual distribution grid in northern Germany with a high share of PV and wind energy are calculated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
