RESOLVD - Renewable penetration levered by efficient Low Voltage Distribution grids. Specifications and use case analysis.

Abstract

The paper presents the RESOLVD (Renewable penetration levered by efficient low voltage distribution grids) project, that aims to improve the efficiency and the hosting capacity of distribution networks, in a context of highly distributed renewable generation by introducing flexibility (storage management) and control in the low voltage (LV) grid. The analysis methodology - which follows the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) framework paradigm- is presented, along with the identified use cases and actors. The proposed initial architecture is also presented, as derived from the use case analysis process together with a cybersecurity analysis of integration and interoperability issues. The research is being motivated by business models and the expected impacts are summarized in the paper.
