Algorithm for the determination of loadability boundaries of distribution

Currently, the coordination of dispersed energy resources, like domestic micro-CHP systems, Photovoltaic systems or the charging of electric vehicles is widely discussed. A major issue that has to be addressed in this context is the possibility of an overload of the public power system. In order to guarantee overload prevention, a robust mechanism is needed for making the coordination system aware of the system´s loadability limits and to provide them with information for corrective measures if necessary. In this paper the authors present a reference algorithm allowing for an on-line constraint violation detection and mitigation under hard real-time constraints by predetermining the overall set of allowable grid usage patterns a-priori.
