This report is written as a part of the SAMREG project, which is a research project funded by Norwegian distribution system operators (DSOs). The project aims to help grid companies adopting voltage regulation as an alternative to grid investment to reduce the investment need in the distribution gri...

This paper identifies the effect of Electric vehicles (EVs) and solar panels/photovoltaic (PVs) on the distribution grid with and without the use of demand response. A method to generate realistic profiles of EVs and PVs based on statistical data is presented. The paper documents the impacts of EVs ...

Smart energy solutions aim to modify and optimise the operation of existing energy infrastructure. Such cyber-physical technology must be mature before deployment to the actual infrastructure, and competitive solutions will have to be compliant to standards still under development. Achieving this te...

A driving force for the realization of a sustainable energy supply in Europe is the integration of distributed, renewable energy resources. Due to their dynamic and stochastic generation behaviour, utilities and network operators are confronted with a more complex operation of the underlying distrib...
