“…Finally, the DN performance is assessed by using a set of enduser-and network-oriented indices described in [1], [18], and [19]; some of the most important indices are summarized in Table 4. using the total consumption measurement at the main power service entry [20].…”

“…The case studies have been selected from a number of 100 MC simulations generated by BUMP assuming high PV, BES, EV, and heat pump penetration. The obtained results are evaluated by using the indices of Table 4 on the basis of the assessment framework of [1]. The mean execution time for a full-day simulation at a resolution of 1 s is 96 min., and the RAM usage is 1,238 MB.…”

“…N OWADAYS, the ever-increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy sources (DRESs), such as photovoltaics (PV) and small wind turbines, into low-voltage (LV) networks gradually transforms the conventional distribution networks (DNs) to active distribution networks (ADNs). Accompanied by a new electrification era that rises through the adoption of power-intensive appliances, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps, this inevitable shift towards ADNs poses unprecedented technical challenges to distribution system operators (DSOs) jeopardizing the reliable operation of power systems [1], due to e.g., power fluctuations, voltage violations, and network overloading.…”

The evolution of distribution networks to active systems as a consequence of the increased penetration of distributed energy resources and the electrification of traditionally fuel-based activities have changed drastically the landscape of power systems operation promoting the necessity of benchmarking tools for planning studies. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of such tools that enable the holistic analysis of modern power systems according to the new grid standards. In this paper, a multi-purpose benchmarking testbed for low-voltage active distribution networks is introduced. The testbed comprises a granular residential appliancelevel dataset, a benchmarking framework based on quasi-static simulations, a set of technical indices and a non-intrusive load monitoring tool. A suite of benchmark case studies including overvoltage, undervoltage and line congestion is presented, supported by ancillary trouble-shooting services, such as voltage control and demand response. The proposed testbed can be a useful tool for distribution system operators to evaluate the operating conditions of the grid without violating technical limitations, test new technologies, identify operational challenges, and foresee grid investments.

“…Furthermore, a set of probabilistic indices is introduced to evaluate the load matching capabilities and PV‐BES system utilization of end‐users (end‐user‐oriented analysis) as well as to quantify the impact of PV‐BES systems on the network performance, in terms of voltage profiles, power losses and RPF incidents (network‐oriented analysis). The proposed indices are partly adopted from literature and modified in a probabilistic manner, or mostly new ones are developed based on a previous study of the authors [21]. The proposed approach can constitute a generalized tool useful for both end‐users and system operators.…”

Passive distribution networks tend to become active, due to the high penetration of photovoltaic units, battery energy storage utilization and their combined active participation to distribution network operation. In this paper, a framework for the assessment of the impact of photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems on voltage profiles, power losses and reverse power flow phenomena of active distribution networks is proposed. Also, the utilization of photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems is evaluated. The proposed methodology is applied to statistically analyse results obtained from annual timeseries power flow calculations in a real 18-bus low-voltage network over a range of operating conditions; the obtained results are quantified using a set of probabilistic indices. The proposed framework can be a useful tool for distribution system operators to identify operational challenges and ensure the optimal exploitation of end-user and network assets.
