• EV penetration of LV-III grid are limited by under-voltage limits, where halfof the LV-II grid feeders (F2, F5, F6) and one of the feeders (F4) of LV-IIIgrid do not have a single EV charged during peak demand period

Grid Reconfiguration : LV-II Grid
• Simple and cheap possibilities of grid reconfiguration (closing ”open tie” pointsacross various feeders)

• It is able to charge 6% additional EVs in the LV-II grid, each during theminimum and maximum demand hours.
• The feeders which could not even incorporate a single EV as in the basecase, were able to add a few number of them.
• The transformer capacity utilisation has also increased from 56% (basecase) to 75% by adopting simple grid reinforcement measure.

Future Operation Scenario
• How Distribution System Operator (DSO) could predict& prevent these grid congestions?o Grid reinforcement (bigger cables, spitting feeders etc.)o Demand Forecastingo Pre-emptive control of local generation and demand units
• How DSO could monitor these grid congestions?o Grid monitoring deviceso Aggregation of Smart Meters
• How the DSO could solve these issues?o Investments for grid expansiono Demand Side Management, real time communication and
control of generation or demand (local household controllers)

Trends : Future Smart Grid
• Today - Smart Meteringo Metering and billing, power quality monitor outages and
events, little consumer participation
• Tomorrow - Grid Optimisationo Asset monitoring and management (Transformer, LV
nodes/feeders), alarms, automation of LV controls,customer interaction through portals, flexible pricing
• Future - Proactive Grid Managemento predictive and adaptive grid protection/control, intelligent
distribution management systems, active ‘prosumers’participating in electricity market
