Integration of Renewable Generation and Elastic Loads into Distribution Grids

SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering

by Omid Ardakanian, S. Keshav, Catherine Rosenberg

This brief examines the challenges of integrating distributed energy resources and high-power elastic loads into low-voltage distribution grids, as well as the potential for pervasive measurement. It explores the control needed to address these challenges and achieve various system-level and user-level objectives. A mathematical framework is presented for the joint control of active end-nodes at scale, and extensive numerical simulations demonstrate that proper control of active end-nodes can significantly enhance reliable and economical operation of the power grid.
