Abstract

The introduction of widespread, grid-connected distributed energy resources into distribution grids, including their localised control changes the way in which distribution grids are comprised and ultimately will be managed. To allow for continued, or even improved, reliability of such grids the manner in which the associated equipment´s performance is evaluated, tested and validated also needs to change likewise. The performance evaluation of distribution grid equipment under severe grid conditions is presented on three equipment types with mutual interaction and a vision for the future of testing presented.
