“…These factors should be carefully examined to evaluate the feasibility of a project before carrying out investments. Some researches [23,27,30] evidenced the economic benefits of active management as compared with traditional network reinforcement strategies, pre-figuring a widespread implementation of active management in future distribution networks.…”

Abstract:The increased spreading of distributed and renewable generation requires moving towards active management of distribution networks. In order to evaluate maximum wind energy exploitation in active distribution networks, a method based on a multi-period optimal power flow analysis is proposed. Active network management schemes such as coordinated voltage control, energy curtailment and power factor control are integrated in the method in order to investigate their impacts on the maximisation of wind energy exploitation. Some case studies, using real data from a Danish distribution system, confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method in evaluating the optimal applications of active management schemes to increase wind energy harvesting without costly network reinforcement for the connection of wind generation.

“…Some of them revealed implementations, and experiences of ANM [10][11], online ANM application [12][13], and ANM challenges for network operators [14]. The cost-benefit analysis of investments and operation costs for various combinations of ANM schemes and techno-economic evaluation are studied in [15][16][17] and compared with passive network management scheme. Generally, it is found that as the DG penetration increases, the investment costs of ANM schemes become more viable and justifiable.…”

The rapid growth of grid-connected embedded generation is changing the operational characteristics of power distribution networks. Amongst a range of issues being reported in the research, the effect of these changes on so-called 'traditional protection systems' has not gone without attention. Looking to the future, the possibility of microgrid systems and deliberate islanding of sections of the network will require highly flexible distribution management systems and a re-design of protection strategies. This paper explores the envisaged protection issues concerned with large penetrations of embedded generation in distribution networks extending into auto-reclosure and protection device coordination. A critical review of recently reported protection strategies for grid-connected only and microgrid operation is also undertaken. The outcome is a list of recommendations to achieve microgrid protection adequacy in future networks.
