Time Series Analysis of Rural Distribution Grids in the Presence of HTS Cables and Intermittent Renewable Resources

The energy transition in Germany leads to an increase of the renewable energy resources integration especially as small units into the distribution level. Therefore, different new technologies such as superconductivity will play an important role in the future of such grids. In the current work time series implications of interconnection of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cables into MV rural distribution grids with high penetration of renewable energy based resources were investigated. Two different scenarios were technically evaluated. The voltage quality, reserve capacity, and energy loss of the grid were analyzed using HTS and conventional lines and cables.
