High Penetration of DERs/EVs and Grid Support: Medium and Low Voltage Grid Impact Analysis using Real Time Simulation

The HiPeGrids project aims to perform an in-depth analysis of distributed energy sources and their effects on an electricity system.

The electrical system includes renewable electricity generation, batteries and charging of electric vehicles and connected to the grid via power electronics. In the project, dynamic simulation will be used to investigate the impact on the electricity grid caused by distributed energy sources.

Furthermore, the simulation will be able to recreate the user's behavior considering distributed generation, energy storage and "Vehicle to Grid", for different scenarios of electric vehicles in the electricity grid as well as economic incentives for energy storage in the grid.
