RT21 | On Validation of Smart Grid Applications for Low Voltage Distribution Systems

Future distribution grids will be subjected to fluctuations in voltages and power flows due to the presence of renewable sources with intermittent power generation. Various data sources e.g. the advanced smart metering infrastructure (AMI) and solar PV inverters can enable the distribution system operators (DSOs) to measure and analyze electrical quantities such as voltages, currents and powers at each customer connection point. Smart grid applications can make use of the these data sources and enable Distribution system operators to monitor and manage their assets. This presentations is giving an overview of the results obtained in the EU H2020 Net2DG project where an Opal-RT based cyber physical systems is used for verification and validation of the developed applications.
