Centralized Control of Distribution Networks with High Penetration of Renewable Energies

Distribution networks were conceived to distribute the energy received from transmission and subtransmission supply passive loads. This approach, however, is not valid anymore due presence of distributed generation, which mainly based on renewable energies, increased number plug-in electric vehicles that are connected at this voltage level for domestic use. In paper ongoing transition distribution face addressed. Whereas sources increase nodal voltages, result in demand surges higher than load predictions considered when planning these networks, leading congestion lines transformers. Additionally, centralized control techniques analyzed reduce impact generation their effective integration. A classification different methodologies applied problems management presented.
