Coordinated Voltage Support with Reactive Power from High-power Charging Stations for EVs
Rana, Rubi; Torsæter, Bendik Nybakk (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)High-power charging stations have recently drawn the attention of many researchers and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure industries. However, the installation of fast chargers at various corridors of highways and cities ... -
Demonstrating interactions of distribution network and local energy communities operating in hierarchically autonomous control architecture paradigm
Degefa, Merkebu Zenebe; Rana, Rubi; Taxt, Henning (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2023)There are different expectations on how large integration of Local Energy Communities (LECs) would impact distribution network operations. There are, however, limited experiences from implemented LECs. On the other hand, ... -
DSO and LEC Collaboration Strategies for Voltage Regulation
Rana, Rubi; Bjarghov, Sigurd Nikolai; Sperstad, Iver Bakken; Askeland, Magnus; Taxt, Henning (SINTEF Energi. Rapport;, Research report, 2024)This report explores the long-term perspective of Local Energy Community (LEC) integration, considering future grid challenges like load increases leading to voltage problems. It examines the role of LECs in reducing peak ... -
Economic assessment of integrating fast-charging stations and energy communities in grid planning
Rana, Rubi; Sperstad, Iver Bakken; Torsæter, Bendik Nybakk; Taxt, Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Distribution grid companies and distribution system operators (DSOs) still mostly follow a traditional framework for grid planning. Such frameworks have so far served DSOs well in the economic assessment and cost–benefit ... -
Integration of Local Energy Communities in Electricity Distribution Grids: FINE project deliverable
Askeland, Magnus; Bjarghov, Sigurd Nikolai; Taxt, Henning; Berg, Kjersti; Morch, Andrei Z; Rana, Rubi; Degefa, Merkebu Zenebe; Crespo del Granado, Pedro Andres (SINTEF Energi. Rapport;, Research report, 2024)This report investigates the integration of Local Energy Communities (LECs) into electricity distribution networks, with a focus on enhancing grid flexibility, optimizing resource use, and supporting the transition to ... -
Methodology for Evaluating Grid Development Strategies Considering Real Options and Risks
Sperstad, Iver Bakken; Rana, Rubi; Sandell, Susanne (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2023)Traditional power grid planning is based on passive measures such as reinforcing the grid and using present value to compare different grid development plans. However, this approach does not accurately describe the real ... -
Modelling and Simulation Approaches for Local Energy Community Integrated Distribution Networks
Rana, Rubi; Berg, Kjersti; Degefa, Merkebu Zenebe; Löschenbrand, Markus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Due to the absence of studies of local energy communities (LECs) where the grid is represented, it is very difficult to infer implications of increased LEC integration for the distribution grid as well as for the wider ... -
Modelling Approaches for Local Energy Community
Rana, Rubi; Degefa, Merkebu Zenebe; Berg, Kjersti; Löschenbrand, Markus (SINTEF Rapport;, Research report, 2021)Due to the absence of well documented experiences from implementations of Local Energy Communities (LECs), it is very difficult to infer implications of increased LEC integrations for the distribution network as well as ... -
Rethinking Distribution Network Operational Planning with Flexibility Resources
Torres Olguin, Raymundo E.; Sperstad, Iver Bakken; Rana, Rubi; Jakobsen, Sigurd Hofsmo; Degefa, Merkebu Zenebe; Vist, Gunnar; Eliassen, Mathias F.; Sloth, Bjørn; Vatne, Åshild; Bergfjord, Line (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2024)The transition to active distribution grids necessitates reevaluating planning and operation processes, where they are no longer considered independent. So, operational planning emerges as the crucial link to navigate the ...
