TLDR
In this article, the authors examine factors affecting the application of solar photovoltaic Power Plants to their power grid and suggest that a utility considering the use of PV generation should consider power conditioning, protection, islanding, intermittent output, and installation.Abstract:
This article examines factors affecting the application of solar Photovoltaic Power Plants to their power grid. A utility considering the use of solar photovoltaic generation should consider the following issues: power conditioning, protection, islanding, intermittent output, and installation. PV generation, like many advanced electrical technologies, will at times require improved performance from the utility system. Operating and protection practices may have to change to accommodate PV. However, operating experience and studies show that PV generation will operate well with existing electric utility systems.read more

Cooperative energy management approach for short-term compensation of demand and generation variations
TL;DR: Preliminary results are presented from a case study for a radial grid segment from the model region, in which the combination of dispatch resources is calculated such that their distance from the location of the primary cause of the deviation is minimized.

A bio-inspired multi-agent system framework for real-time load management in all-electric ship power systems
TL;DR: In this article, a real-time load management technique for all-electric ship power systems is presented based on artificial potential functions and reduced-order agent models, which integrates high-order system dynamics and various kinds of operational constraints into the multi-agent system, improving the accuracy of the cooperative controller.

Characterization of load profile deviations for residential buildings
TL;DR: High-resolution, fine-granularity data from the load profiles of thirty residential buildings in Upper Austria with regard to deviations from the expected profile are provided in order to link the study to the practical aspects of Smart Grids research.
Design, implementation and evaluation of cooperative methods for short term compensation of deviations from the load schedule for dual demand side management
TL;DR: The potential of Photovoltaic as an electrical generator, micro-CHP to heat and power generation and heat pump as a representative of thermostatically controlled loads are used and the methodology for the optimum dispatching the excess of generations among the deviated loads is presented.
