b'cired2021.orgSESSION 5:PLANNING OF POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSSession 5 deals with all aspects related to the short and long term development of high, medium and low voltage distribution networks, with reference to the changing requirements for electricity distribution including, but not limited to, smart grids and active distribution networks, electric vehicles, storage, active demand and distributed energy resources integration, present and future customer quality of supply requirements, and optimum asset utilisation techniques and strategies.There is increasing interest in strategies designed to meet the rapidly changing level of demand in both rural and urban areas, the extension of electrification in rural areas requiring a high quality of supply, and development strategies intended to increase resiliency against low probability high risk extreme events.DEMAND AND GENERATION FORECAST Distribution network design criteria for increasing resiliencyArtificial intelligence for load and generation forecast Distribution network schemes for developing countries Evolution of the demand characteristics (e.g. loadAssessment of the impact on network architecture and profiling and segmentation) system development of services offered by microgridsMethodologies for demand forecast in an and local energy communities (e.g., increasing of hosting assigned area capacity, resiliency, flexibility, investment deferment) Electric vehicle impact on the electrical demand Schemes for the connection of electric vehicles in carWays to regulate the impact of electrical vehicles parks, public or private buildings, and regulatory/in demand standardisation framework Vehicle-to-grid strategies DC distribution Renewable energy sources generation forecast NETWORK PLANNINGPERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS, RESULTS, AND BENCHMARKING Planning techniques with flexibility and system services from DERsEconomical versus technical performanceIntegrated planning of multi-energy/multi-services (e.g. System reliability and degree of adequacy electricity, heat, cold, and gas, transportation, water, Methods for performance assessment waste, etc.)Results of performance evaluation and benchmarking R Integrated TSO/DSO planning with the flexibility and Evaluation of technical and non-technical losses system services from DERsSatisfaction of customers and other stakeholdersImproving efficiency in distribution networksPredictive assessment of power qualityOptimal integration of distributed energy resourcesReliability assessment in smart gridsStorage and reactive power compensation systems Increasing resiliency against low probability high risksplanningextreme eventsPlanning criteria for electrification in low loadMicrogrids and local energy communities to providedensity areassecurity of supply beyond the parameters associated Integration of EV fast charging installations in the with the DSO network New service providers (e.g. aggregators, consumers/Models and tools for including microgrids and local producers, smart districts, smart buildings, etc.)energy communities in development studiesassessment and benchmarkImpact of Peer-to-peer transactions in planning NETWORK SCHEMES AND DESIGN CRITERIA INVESTMENT STRATEGIESAdvanced network schemes for the best exploitation Cost benefit analysis and decision making for smart grid of distributed generation, energy storage and electricdevelopment plans vehicles Least cost investment plansDesign of active networks and smart grids Financial planning and cash flow for investmentDistribution systems for offshore wind farms Network agingLow-losses design Risk analysis and asset management implicationsDependence on local environment Non-network solutions for ancillary servicesCo-existence and synergy with other infrastructures Obsolescence: shorter life-cycles due to automation and ICT technologies07'
