Abstract
Experimental test results of a voltage control mechanism for LV distribution networks are presented in this work. The main goal of the voltage control system is to mitigate over- and under voltages. The control mechanism uses the readily available flexibility of residential smart appliances. The main advantage of the control system is that it does not require a communication network between the different households within the LV network. The control system merely requires communication between the smart appliances within one household, and uses locally available measurements, such as the household supply voltage, e.g. provided by a smart meter. The control system is rolled out in the LINEAR residential demand response pilot for approximately 100 families, from December 2013.Keywords
