TLDR
The most significant challenge in distribution management associated with the so-called "smart grid" is that the distribution system becomes an active system with distributed generation, smart customer loads, electric vehicle charging, smart inverters, distributed storage, and so on as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
The most significant challenge in distribution management associated with the so called “smart grid” is that the distribution system becomes an active system-with distributed generation, smart customer loads, electric vehicle charging, smart inverters, distributed storage, and so on. The challenge of an active distribution system affects both the planning functions and the real-time operations of the system. The transition to an active distribution system does not change the need to maintain and improve reliability.read more

Mitigation of Rooftop Solar PV Impacts and Evening Peak Support by Managing Available Capacity of Distributed Energy Storage Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the solar PV impacts and developed a mitigation strategy by an effective use of distributed energy storage systems integrated with solar PV units in lowvoltage distribution networks, where the storage is used to consume surplus solar PV power locally during PV peak, and the stored energy is utilized in the evening for the peak-load support.

Decentralized Controls and Communications for Autonomous Distribution Networks in Smart Grid
Chun-Hao Lo,Nirwan Ansari +1 more
TL;DR: This paper designs autonomous distribution networks that take scalability into account by dividing the legacy distribution network into a set of subnetworks and proposes an overlay multi-tier communications infrastructure for the underlying power network to analyze the traffic of data information and control message required for associated power flow operation.

The Living Documentary: from representing reality to co-creating reality in digital interactive documentary
TL;DR: It is argued that interactive documentaries are ways to construct and experience the real rather than to represent it, where types of interactions are seen as the fundamental differentiator between interactive documentaries.

An Approach for Online Assessment of Rooftop Solar PV Impacts on Low-Voltage Distribution Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an approach for online assessment of rooftop PV impacts on lowvoltage (LV) networks using real-time network data, where a variable-width sliding window was used to provide the analysis an outcome-based online data.

Recommended Practices for Distribution System Analysis
W.H. Kersting,R.C. Dugan +1 more
TL;DR: This panel summary presents the arguments for the formation of a task force within the distribution system analysis subcommittee of the power system analysis computing and economics committee to develop a recommended practice to harmonize the various methods used to support distribution planning without unnecessarily stifling innovation.
