Optimal integration of renewable energy sources in low voltage distribution grids
Description
In this project, real low voltage distribution grids are being investigated and economic solutions for integration of renewable energy sources investigated. Besides grid studies, this includes but is not limited to, line voltage regulators, active power control, reactive power control, control of battery energy storage systems, tools for forecasting of generation and production in specific regions etc.
