Solar prosuming is an emerging phenomenon in which many actor groups are involved in shaping new solutions. Here we study national policymakers, relevant stakeholders such as grid companies, and the prosumers themselves – and the interconnections between them – to provide a contextualised exploratio...

To handle the changing power system and enable the energy transformation, several actions are needed, where the increase of digitalization, automation and more substantial production variability implies a need for flexibility. Solutions providing advances in flexibility are of importance for the fut...

This paper presents the status of regulation related to distribution grid tariffs in Norway, and household customers’ assessment of having such a tariff scheme. The paper is presenting results from a Norwegian pilot where two alternative tariff models where tested among household customers for 1 yea...

This paper studies the electricity consumption of 5 villas in the south of Norway and estimates the effect of utilizing batteries as a means to reduce peak load for each villa. High-resolution field data on the consumption pattern for the villas is presented. A simple battery model is utilized, and ...

Solar power or photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as a leading low-carbon energy technology worldwide, but the deployment of residential PV systems in Norway has lagged behind other Scandinavian countries. Therefore, the Norwegian market provides an opportunity to gain insights on the demand fac...

This paper explores the possibilities of shifting certain household consumer-based loads in time, to reduce unnecessary load peaks to the grid which again can cause challenges for Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Historical measured data on household consumption and the consumption profile ...

This paper gathers experiences and results from several demonstration projects in the field of grid integration of electric vehicles. The analyzed research projects are selected among research institutes and universities that are part of the European Energy Research Alliance Joint Program on Smart G...

The peak load in electricity consumption is increasing among household customers, resulting in reduced utilization time of the distribution grid. Demand side flexibility can be a cost-efficient alternative to grid investments, but to achieve customers' involvement, knowledge about their willingness ...
