Control strategies for smart low voltage grids — The project DG DemoNet — Smart LV Grid

Upcoming challenges for LV grids include a high penetration of distributed energy resources and electric vehicles. The project “DG DemoNet - Smart LV Grid” aims to enable an efficient and cost effective use of existing grid infrastructures based on a three-step concept: intelligent planning, on-line monitoring and active LV grid management. Communication-based systems for automatic control concepts for low voltage grids are developed and demonstrated in pilot installations. This paper describes the results of the first phase within research project. The consortium out of distribution system operators, research institutions and industry partners have defined a set of control strategies for active low voltage grids.
