Economic Evaluation of Distribution System Smart Grid Investments

Smart - Grid Investments , Regulation and Organization Per

Worldwide, but in particular in North America and Europe, the grid infrastructure managers are facing demands for reinvestments in new assets with higher on-grid and off-grid functionality in order to promote energy efficiency and low-carbon conversion of the energy sector. To meet societal policy objectives in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, both the composition of the generators in favor o...

Distribution Grid Planning Considering Smart Grid Technologies

Connection of distributed generation (DG) units, energy storages, and new loads into low voltage (LV) grids leads to a constrained operation of the grids. Consequently, voltage limits violation and overloading of grid assets occur more frequently. To tackle these issues, distribution system operators (DSO) still employ traditional techniques in planning distribution grids to increase grid hosti...

Economic Evaluation of Scale Dependent Technology Investments

W study the effect of financial risk on the economic evaluation of a project with capacity decisions. Capacity decisions have an important effect on the project’s value through the up-front investment, the associated operating cost, and constraints on output. However, increased scale also affects the financial risk of the project through its effect on the operating leverage of the investment. A...
