Impact study of new loads and time of use schedule in the low voltage network

Abstract:

Nowadays, the distribution networks are facing with new challenges such as the electrical vehicle connection, the emergence of new charges such induction cookers especially in South America and a strong integration of distributed generation at the low voltage level. In addition, the costumers are transforming their habits in order to become much more active in the network. Hence, this paper assesses the impact of new load/generation connected at low voltage as well as proposes a demand side management technique in order to try to reduce the main power peak during the night. The authors use real information coming from measurements.
