Abstract

This extended abstract analyses possible benefits of coordinated implementation of micro-generation (MG) and demand-side management (DSM) on the overall performance of distribution networks, particularly quality of supply of low-voltage residential customers. Detailed network representations and improved aggregate load/MG models are used to assess changes in active/reactive power flows, system losses and voltage profiles due to the introduction of MG with/without energy storage and implementation of DSM schemes. The extended abstract also discusses how coordinated control of MG and DSM, as one of the important functionalities of future "smart grids", may provide distribution network operators with an efficient solution for improving system reliability and maintaining continuity of supply.
