Evaluating the power capability of a Dutch MV grid incorporating sustainable technologies

This paper describes the power capability of a typical Dutch medium voltage (MV) distribution grid when future generation and load technologies are applied. Therefore reference networks are selected which are representative for of a larger group of networks. The application of the future technologies is simulated in these reference networks. A methodology is presented to calculate the penetration degrees for these future technologies. A sensitivity analysis is then performed on changes in the power profiles of the technologies.
