Abstract

This paper presents a study performed by EDF R&D for Nice Smart Valley (NSV), the French demonstrator of the INTERFLEX European project. The study consisted in an evaluation of the impacts of several consumption and generation penetration scenarios on low voltage network constraints and on their leverage feasibility using flexibilities. In a future scenario of evolution in the integration of photovoltaic (PV) generation and electric vehicles (EV), and electricity end-use, we provide an illustration of what constraints may occur in 9 “real-world” LV distribution networks from Nice, France and its surroundings for 20 test days. We then evaluate the potential flexibility that could be used to solve these constraints. Three different evaluation methods are presented. One method is based on a mathematical optimisation, and the other two are based on heuristics with different rules related to flexibility use. Test results on the networks show the effect of the aforementioned evolutions on the potential constraints in these networks and the flexibility that could solve these constraints. This study shall be considered as the first step towards more complete analyses on the subject; it already shows interesting technical results on the flexibilities volume optimization methods.
