Adequate capacity planning of substations and feeders primarily depends on an accurate
estimation of the future peak electricity demand. Traditional coincident peak demand …

Conditions on feeders with dispersed generation vary between voltage drop when there is
no generation, and voltage rise when the generation exceeds the load. The utility is …

Across Europe domestic electricity consumption is on the rise. In an attempt to counter this
increase, various initiatives have been introduced to promote the replacement of less energy …

Debate continues around appropriate metrics to measure energy access for the poor. Whilst
the underlying principles of energy access, for example affordability or safety, may be …

This thesis analyzes the technical and economic potential of autonomous voltage control
strategies for improving distribution grid operation with high shares of photovoltaic (PV) …

Conductor size selection (CSS) is critical for the optimal design and operation of distribution
