Abstract

The rising penetration of distributed generation, electric energy storage and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) leads to new challenges and opportunities in the energy system. Local intelligences such as home energy management systems (HEMS) are a possible solution for the synergies between these distributed actors. In order to evaluate the large-scale deployment of these approaches, sophisticated test systems are needed. This paper presents a novel co-simulation middleware called Lablink which is used to test the large-scale deployment of HEMS and BEVs in a low-voltage distribution grid. Photovoltaic (PV) generation as well as controllable storage is also included. Two example HEMS implementations are evaluated with respect to their grid sustainability. Results show that the combination of HEMS with distributed storage systems can mitigate voltage magnitude issues.
