Abstract

Penetration of DC systems in distribution networks can increase flexibility and controllability of power systems. The analyses consider network management issues, i.e. network overload conditions, for a typical urban AC distribution grid meshed with MVDC links by means of Voltage Source Converters (VSC).​Optimal Power Flow (OPF) analyses were performed with an optimization tool and results were evaluated by means of lines and converters loading. Moreover, Load Shedding (LS) was assessed with respect to the total load of the feeder.
